I have Passed The Gavel

After two years as VFW Post Commander I have passed on the gavel to another Comrade.
He has been Post Commander before, he is also taking over as District Commander and I passed That gavel to him earlier last month.
I learned a lot and worked hard to increase our membership and bring new ideas to the Post, as well as the District; I only hope some ideas stick in the minds of the Comrades.
They are slow to change and because of that they can stagnate which isn't good for anyone.
I was honored when the incoming Commander pinned my Past Post Commander pin on me and later, just before we closed the meeting, they all stood and saluted me! I am proud of a job well done!
