My final column as Commander will be shot. There are so many volunteers and patrons to thank: the newsletter editors, mailing crew, museum archivists, expense and correspondence managers, and those daily chores to protect and maintain the building. Volunteers accomplish 95% of these jobs. Your time, energy, and passion for “Honoring and Carrying On the Legacy” is greatly appreciated and valued.

Thank you to all the members of the NVC Executive Council who served on one-year terms starting on March 20, 2021. The countless hours of conversing and debating helped inform all the decisions over the past three years. It has been an absolute pleasure and honor to serve in this role.
