AMERICANISM /PATRIOTC INSTRUCTOR

Well ladies I know that you have done a lot for our Veterans so please report it to me by April 15th. The year is almost over and we have done some good work with helping others and showing the people true Patriotism. I thank all of you for the support that you have given. It shows that “OUR STRENGTH LIES IN UNITY” because we are always “UNITED by LOVE for our VETERANS and COUNTRY.”
