This year has definitely been an extremely challenging one.  COVID-19 put a damper on all of our activities and has been a threat to us Vietnam veterans, but we have survived.  I believe this chapter will be even better this coming year 2021.  A vaccine is on the horizon and we service connected veterans through the VA Manila will be getting it.

I, especially, have many things to be thankful for.  The man upstairs has blessed me in many ways this year, both personally and professionally.  I am really thankful of your trust in me as your president for the past 10 years.  WE have accomplished a lot throughout these years, NOT ME but WE.  WE have done things without conflict amongst ourselves and I as President (caretaker) am very thankful for that.  This chapter can not survive without the support of the members.

Thank you from the bottom of my “pea-pickin” heart.

Again, HAPPY THANKSGIVING !  May God continue to bless the Vietnam veteran.

JAMES (JIM) LARY
President
