vfw-elects-vincent-bj-lawrence-as-new-national-commander

Thank you for making us ware my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown that Vincent “B.J.” Lawrence, of Alamogordo, N.M., was elected on Friday. July 27, 2018 as the national commander of the 1.2 million-member Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States
The VFW is a congressionally-chartered veterans service organization comprised of eligible veterans and military service members from all five branches of the armed forces.

VFW membership eligibility requires honorable service in a war or expedition on foreign soil or in hostile waters. Lawrence served in the U.S. Army from 1983 to 1986 and earned his eligibility by serving in South Korea, where an armistice, or cease-fire agreement, has existed since July 27, 1953, and where war could erupt at a moment’s notice. He joined VFW Post 7686 in Alamogordo, N.M., in 2000, and immediately began moving the organization forward into the new millennium. He has proven to be a highly effective and dynamic leader, serving in a myriad of critical leadership positions, to include being elected commander at every level of the organization. His theme for the year and challenge to the $102 million nonprofit organization is to “Make It Happen."

Lt Col Charlie Brown I need to get more involved.
