| Commander's Comments |
| To all veterans of the Middle East conflicts. Thank You for your Service. May we encourage you to join the DAV and Men and Women in the DAVA-AUXILIARY and take the reigns to continue the responsibility to carry on the support for your Brother Veterans and their families on Capitol Hill. New Leadership is needed to insure that all Veterans’ VSO Organizations continue to stay strong to insure that we can continue to protect and improve Veterans Benefits and due compensations. We of the Vietnam era, like our Brothers of WW-II now mostly gone, are seeing our ranks diminish from age, therefore, it is urgent that our new Warriors recognize this fact and continue to carry the flag. We of Stonewall Jackson Chapter #9 Welcome you all. ______________________________________ If you are a current member we encourage you to attend your meetings ### |

I wish to extend a THANK YOU to all our Chapter Members of DAV #9 and DAVA # 9 for the excellent work you did on August 15th for the Wounded Warriors Day at Lake Holiday. This day indeed was a Testament to your Conviction to Cause. Your efforts insured all who attended that the DAV is truly there and always will be there to support every Active duty, Veteran, and Family Member. Through this Event several Milestones were accomplished that will Pave the Way for Chapter # 9 to continue to Grow and be there for our Troops. I am looking forward to a Productive year with new and thought out Creative ideas from all Members. Although we do not have a Lodge that produces a regular income we are extremely Effective in our Roles and this coming year will set new Precedents for the Future. I, as your Commander, am Committed to the Highest Degree to insure that We Continue to be the Family that We have Grown into and to Guide you to the best of my Abilities. I invite all Members to call me and discuss any situations or ideas that you may have prior to our next scheduled Meetings, so we may present them to the Entire Membership in a more Productive Way. Gratitude Letters from patients in the PRRP program have been posted on our web site (Wounded Warriors Appreciation Day Link) WWAD LINK and I invite you all to read them, as I am sure you will be Humbled and very Rewarded. The 700 Pictures will also be posted when and only when we have Authorization from all 5 Hospitals that attended. SPECIAL NOTE: As We all should know the War in Iraq continues and the War in Afghanistan is only just beginning. We must now do everything possible to bring new Members into the DAV Family so We may insure that We are there at every opportunity. Our wounded troop numbers are staggering and the Killed in Action figure grows every day. That means that We MUST prepare and incorporate new Procedures to Address this growing need. Let's not fail this immense Responsibility and the only way to insure that We don't fail is to Come “respectfully” to all Meetings as a DAV Member and do your best in Recruiting. October’s Meeting will be Pivotal for our entire next year. Many new Programs and Procedures will be brought to the table. I ask you all to be Present. Again, JOB WELL DONE!, and let's look forward to 2010 in the truest sense of giving for our troops and their families. Chance Bazzano. Commander. Service Officer. Department Welfare & Relief |
