Many assisted in these ceremonies: Jack Braden, Harvey Appleman, Robert Nichols, Harold “AJ” Murdock, Joe Bossi, CSM Mike Wagoner, Mike Tilden, Dan Gilligan, Jordan Jeffcoat, and others. For Veteran members, a “Double Eagle” Pin will be awarded for those who sign-up at least one new member or re-sign a former member who has not been active for over two years. Many pins have been awarded to Association members who have recruited friends and former members of the Division into the Association. The continuing goal is to double the veteran membership, which will enhance the overall capabilities of our Association and result in improved services for all our members. To meet this challenge, we are counting on you to do your part; twist the arm of a reluctant bud- dy, spread the word about all the good things the Association is accomplishing, do it any way you can; but get at least one new member by the 68th Annual Reunion.
