This is my last Memorial Day message as the commander of the greatest VFW Post in the state of Alabama. Please indulge me for just a couple of minutes.
Today is the day we honor our fallen comrades; those who wrote that final check to the United States of America. Many people search for the right words and the epic quote to frame their thoughts and words today, but I am fortunate in the fact I don’t have to do that. I have served with America’s greatest and continue to serve with them today. Today, as we lay symbolic wreaths or raise a toast, we honor our friends and comrades and those who have gone before us to create and maintain the greatest Nation on the face of the Earth. We owe those heroes a debt of gratitude that we can repay by continuing to serve and by mentoring this next generation of warriors who choose to serve and carry on the tradition of protecting our life, liberty, and happiness. Our efforts today will carry forward and impact those who follow us. Let’s take the time to make sure they know we support them and will welcome them when they return. We should take the time to educate our communities about the sacrifice our Warriors make, and even more importantly, the families who hold the line at home. Our strength has always been in our sense of duty and our allegiance to a set of ideals and not a person. We need to guard that even today and not rest or grow complacent.
Thank you all for the privilege of being the Commander of Gentry-Isom VFW Post 2702 for the last few years. I treasure the friendship and comradeship of each of you and hope I have left the Post in a better state.

This young lady is near and dear to our hearts. She is such a courageous woman and a fighter. She does so much good for the Veterans in this town. Now it’s our turn to support her and the families affected by childhood cancer. Step it up!
