The end of our membership year is closing in on us. It’s time to load up with a full magazine, bring a few extra mags with you and a bandolier or two just in case. Fix bayonets and grab a couple of frags. It’s battle time! All District Commanders, we need to really put the push on and get this thing done by the end of March. Now is the time to contact ALL Post Commanders, and other Post Officers and get them saddled up and moving.
One Post Commander told me he was sending in 21 applications. That was over a month ago. None have showed up at National. No need to talk the talk, it’s time to walk the walk. We should be increasing our totals and reversing our losses. Instead we are doing the same old thing.
Rattle the sabers Comrades. Now is the time to get fired up! Membership! Membership! Membership!
OK, sit there and complain about me pushing. Are you over it? Good, now let’s get going!
We’re finding Posts with active duty members now in Iraq and Afghanistan on the unpaid lists. Relief funds comrades. Veterans helping veterans, that’s what we do!
