Thank you to all the Veterans, Legionnaires, and the Ladies Auxiliary for your support during my tour 2022-2023 as the Commander of this great Post 69 of the American Legion. We are continuously moving in the right direction. We have exceeded our quota goal and as of today we are at 103.02% of our quota. Thanks to all who have helped in the quarterly feeding, 1st Annual Veterans Expo, Christmas Party, New Years Eve Party, Elvis Impersonator Event and General Meeting Dinners. I could not have done it without your support and encouragement. As the Commander, I will continue to strive to make Post 69, Columbus, MS the best in the state of Mississippi. Do not forget to come and vote your choice, for the future leaders of your post, June 13, 2023, at 7:00 pm.

Saturday evening on the 25th of March I had the privilege of attending the Columbus High School AFJROTC Military Ball. Brigadier General Edward Evans, Jr. , Chief of Staff, MS Air National Guard was our guest speaker. Outstanding speech and then awards. Our post presented two awards; one for Academic Excellence awarded to Mr. Kelby Miller (next to me) and Military Excellence awarded to Ms. Aalaizjha Durrah. What an awesome time and chance to represent the Legion in our community.
For God & Country!!!!!!!!

Email from USAA:

Fifty years have passed since the final American military forces left Vietnam and our remaining prisoners of war were returned. Even after the passage of five decades, we still owe these veterans a large debt of gratitude.

During the conflict, political controversy and disagreement were sadly misdirected toward those who had admirably served our nation. When these brave warriors returned from Vietnam, they received neither a hero’s welcome nor appreciation for their service that they deserved, but instead got apathy, anger and hate. Disappointingly, many were left to struggle alone with self-doubt, shame and the memories of those left behind.

After their wartime service ended, these unsung heroes went to work, served in government and became involved in their communities. Vietnam War-era veterans went on to lead Fortune 500 companies, direct Oscar-winning films, create a prominent computer-programming language, map the human genome and many other outstanding accomplishments. Today, there are approximately 6 million living veterans from the Vietnam era – more than 30% of America’s veteran population.

The 50th National Vietnam War Veterans Day is a national opportunity to share our appreciation for the sacrifices made by a generation of veterans. Thank you, Vietnam veterans, for your courage in war and service to our nation, both in and out of uniform.

USAA President & CEO
