One Vote CAN Matter

 I traveled to VFW Headquarters this week and last to assist in overseeing the election of our new Judge Advocate General.  As we did not have a National Convention, open positions were elected by votes from the National Council of Administration.  All but one position was filled.  Of the ballots that came in by mail, the election was too close to call for JAG with other ballots not yet received.

Over the course of several days, the ballots trickled in and a see-saw battle took place.  Finally, on Monday, the last of the ballots arrived and were scrupulously checked and counted.  The result?  The winning candidate was victorious by ONE VOTE.  For those of you who think your vote doesn't count, believe me, it does.  No matter what the election is for, every vote matters.  If you want a say in your life, ensure you vote. 

We did have one good weather day so of course I had to get a photo of Mama Cass by the impressive "Citizen-Soldier" Statue on the Headquarters grounds.  If you are ever in Kansas City, stop by HQ and see this stirring sculpture!
