My Journey Is Coming To A Close
The USS M&M is pulling into port as my journey as your Department Commander nears its end. I have truly enjoyed being your commander an d watching as some of our Posts have determinedly begun their revitalization and as others became more involved and discovered the true value of The American Legion. But, before the USS M&M docks, I would like to remind you of a few important details.
The National Commander is coming to Connecticut. This is a privilege and an honor. I encourage all of you to review the National Commander's Schedule in the Department Bulletin and attend a function at a site nearest to where you live.
Let's show National Commander David Rehbein that we value his visit and that we value The American Legion by having the biggest show of support that Connecticut has ever seen.
The 2010 membership cards have arrived at Department HQ. Please make sure that you contact your District leadership to find out how to get your Post's 2010 membership cards.
I have truly enjoyed being your Department Commander for the 2008-2009 year. I met some pretty amazing people, learned the best way to revitalize our Posts, enjoyed the company and hospitality of many Posts and even traveled to Washington to speak with our leaders about the best way to support our veterans.
It was a busy year that I will never forget. And, although I will no longer be your Department Commander, I will still be very active and continue to pursue what I consider to be the backbone of The American Legion - Mentoring and Membership.
Thanks for a great year. I look forward to seeing you all at the Department Convention in July and leading our Department delegation to Louisville for the National Convention in August.
For God and Country, your loyal Legionnaire,
Harvey E. Daggett
