Thank you for 20 great years

September 17, 2013
It has been my pleasure to serve you veterans and citizens of Boundary County for the past 20 years through my association with the American Legion. As Chaplain and Community Liaison Officer of Boundary Post #55 I have met and worked with such outstanding people and you are the ones who make Boundary County such a wonderful place to live!

Thanks to each of you who so tirelessly strive every year to make the American Legion’s Memorial Day events and Veteran’s Day Service such a whopping success. You make the job of organizing these events an easy one with your eager willingness to help our community honor its veterans.

Thank all of you dedicated folks who faithfully turn out year after year, no matter what the weather, to pay respects with your attendance at these veterans’ events.

Thanks to each of you, private citizens and local businesses alike, who stepped up when called upon to erect Bonners Ferry’s huge flag and create Veterans Memorial Park. You each can be proud, as am I, to have been a part of this lasting tribute to our local citizens who served.

At this time for personal reasons I am stepping down from my positions with the American Legion.

I do hope all of you will continue to support our veterans and the American Legion with your participation and attendance at Legion events. As for myself, I am hoping to find new venues in which to continue serving and in some way “pay back” this community that has given so much to me and my family.

Thank you all.
