Team VMS:

Thank you from the bottom our hearts for what you do daily. We must start this year off aggressively. Many of you have upcoming Schools of Instruction, so take that opportunity to brag about what our programs do. Remind them that the new
All-American criteria has changed to $100 for Posts. If you ever need anything, please pick up the phone or shoot us a note.  
Lastly, wanted to share that our VFW riders did an incredible job raising $42,000 during the Howard Vander Clute ride at convention.
The top Department was the Department of Virginia with $19,000.  
Keep the hammer down and "Dare to Care!!"

Yours in Comradeship,

Lynn W. Rolf, III
