National Defense Night was such a moving ceremony. Our honorees were truly spectacular and it was so meaningful to hear their thoughtful remarks. National Defense Night is always one of my favorite evenings. I feel privileged to stand in our beautiful auditorium singing the National Anthem on the night we dedicate to honoring our nation’s military.
Following the Memorial Service this morning, we will have the Installation Ceremony for the new State Regents, State Vice Regents and the newly elected Vice Presidents General, Honorary Vice Presidents General, and Executive Board. Congratulations to the VanBuren Executives and all of the new members of the National Board of Management!
I enjoyed the entire week of Continental Congress. It was busy and crazy, fun and moving. It is hard to truly describe the full experience to those who have never attended, but for me it expands my vision of this amazing organization. I hope everyone attending found the week educational, motivating and fun, and that you are taking home some great ideas, a renewed sense of purpose and vision.
