To the Members of VVA 310,
the Vietnam Veterans of America
National Chapter of the Year
for 1999 and 2007

Greetings Brothers and Sisters,

Well this is it, my last President’s article!  Now I can say that these past two years have gone by fast.  We have such a busy Chapter and I am so very, very proud.  It has been one of the greatest honors in my life and a privilege to have been your President.  The true credit for such a fantastic organization is due to each and every one of the members, Friends and supporters who have contributed in so many ways.  I must thank and mention in name several of the key people who have supported our Chapter 310 these past two years.  In no particular order here goes… John and Jane Kinzinger who seem to be the backbone and core of our mission and values; they have unending and true devotion to the true meaning of supporting our veterans.  George and Lois Perrault dedicating so many hours of their lives to nearly every single activity we are engaged in, George and John are some of my mentors in life.  Roy and Bonnie Hall truly deserved to be honored by VVA 310 this year.  They both are always around to support our many activities.  Pete Belaire is a true stalwart for veterans support past and present; he is detail oriented and is incredible in his lust to make sure veterans are not forgotten.  Tim and Kathy Driscoll are always investing their time to supporting our Vietnam Memorial, Agent Orange Awareness and Chapter events.  Phil and Gena Hecker have the tedious job of maintaining our Chapter financial records, filings and elections.  Marv Rivers has been an outstanding Vice President.  Marv has put in countless hours of support to the Heritage Festival, parades, Fairs, Pig Roast and standing in for me.
