In recognition

VFW Magazine, Oct, 2002

Member recruitment is the lifeblood of the organization. And those who lead the membership drives in the Departments should be acknowledged.

To accord them the recognition they deserve, VFW magazine is publishing the photos of Department commanders for this administrative year. We wish them the best of fortune in the year to come.

Recruiting and retaining members becomes an even more challenging job each year. So praise should be part of the plan. The volunteer spirit displayed by all VFW officers is to be commended, and public recognition is a primary means.

Congratulations on a job well done not only to Department commanders, but to all those at the Post level who recruit. We all know it requires a genuine team effort to make a membership drive work.
