Greetings fellow Panthers:
At this time I would like to congratulate COL. McGuire. CSM Parks, Officers, NCO, men and women of the 3rd Brigade, for another job well done during your deployment of the past year to Iraq. Welcome home to all of you.
I would also send my condolences to the families of those panthers who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country and to the wounded warriors a speedy recovery.
While you were deployed I had the pleasure of being at the brigade family picnic and I am looking forward to attending the Brigade picnic next year and our Association meeting after it.
I had a great time at the 82nd Assoc. Convention were I met some of our wounded warriors whom I hope had a great time at our hospitality room, throughout the Convention and at our brunch. The Panther Association meeting was well attended by active duty and Veteran Members and we got a lot of important issues taken care of. Next year I hope to see many more active duty members at the convention to meet and enjoy the company of the Veteran Panthers.
I would also like to remind all annual members that it is time to renew your membership for 2010 or better yet become life members.
H-MINUS
