Comrades,
As my term as Commander comes to a close, I want to express my deep gratitude for the opportunity to serve this Post and our veteran community.
We’ve shared moments of impact, connection, and reflection, but I would be remiss if I didn’t also speak from the heart. One of the biggest challenges we continue to face is the need for more hands, more voices, and more members stepping into the work that sustains our mission. This is not a critique: it’s a call. A reminder that the strength of this Post is not in one leader, but in all of us.
Leadership isn’t always about titles, it’s about showing up. Whether it’s helping with events, mentoring younger vets, or simply attending meetings, every action matters.
As I step aside, I’m hopeful that a new wave of energy and engagement will rise. Thank you again for the privilege of serving you. I’m not going far and I’ll be cheering for this team every step of the way.
In comradeship,
Commander Alyson Teeter
