President’s Message
THANK YOU—I ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE OF SERVING as your president for Operational Year July 1, 2016—

confidence you have placed in me. I pledge to you my 100% effort to continue the All American Spirit you so
richly deserve.
Our Board of Directors for the new Operational Year are committed to work together for a Great Year to
further the Association of the United States Army’s Aims, Objectives and Strategic Communications to better
serve you. Your Board of Directors are all volunteers, serving without pay, who are Retired Army, Veterans

I am confident your Board of Directors will set the example you expect. Soon we will announce our

objectives can be achieve without your support.
