As a member of The Military Coalition (TMC), we are the host organization for the Veterans Day Arlington Cemetery activities. Whoever is the National President will be the Master of Ceremony at the Memorial Amphitheater. It also gives shipmates and auxiliary members an opportunity to attend.

“Attached is the fourth newsletter for the Centennial/Natl Convention. Thank you to those who provided suggestions to change a few things in the newsletter. The picture of the items available to purchase are bigger, the order form font is bigger, the meals form was missing who to send form and money to and has been corrected.
Please be sure to share this with other Shipmates and Auxiliary members. Forward the newsletter to your Branch Secretary so they can send out to your branch members. If you have an Auxiliary Unit, send to their secretary as well.
In Loyalty, Protection and Service
Donna Jansky”
