Hank Kwiatkowski, V. 1588

Grand Correspondant since 1996

Sous Director Membership 2009-10

Voyageurs, we meet with memories.  Memories of service rendered and comrades made.  Many of those comrades of ours have preceded us, to fall silently in their place, in ranks before the Great Commander, that we might meet again.

Their memories are imprinted in our hearts; their deeds written into the history of our country; while those of us left to assemble here stand with bowed heads and loving hearts in reverence.
