We tackled many issues over these past days, ranging from setting the budget to refreshing the national Awards program to learning more about the tough choices ahead for our National Veterans Service program. Of course, there were many other items in between that we sorted out. The members of the Council work hard and take their positions seriously. For those unfamiliar with the Council, think of it as similar to the U.S. Congress, where our nation's leaders come together to do those things that are best for all of us. Of course, the VFW Council actually gets things done!
Our Commander-in-Chief, Doc Schmitz, set the tone for the year encouraging all of us to do the best we can but do it in the spirit of good will and cooperation. I think we all enjoyed hearing that message and we certainly will do our best for the membership and the organization!
