This is
something that is very near and dear to my heart and whether or not you
agree with the current management of our nation or our presence in
foreign or domestic locations, we should all agree that supporting our
troops is of utmost importance and honoring our soldiers is what this
section is intended to do. Please send me their name, branch, rank,
location, and relationship to USW Local 903 so we may honor them in our
newsletter and on our website.
We want to thank Anita Howard for setting up this particular portion of
the USW Local 903 Website. Her son Jake is in the National Guard
and just beginning his military career at the young age of seventeen.
As you can see she is a very proud parent, as are many of our Union
Employees who have family members in all branches of military service.
We wish for their safe, healthy and quick return. If it weren’t for the thousands of men and women
who are strong enough to stand up for those who are not, we would not be
the great country that we are. Please join me in saluting our troops on
more than just Veteran’s Day.
GOD BLESS
AMERICA and THANK YOU TO ALL VETERANS-PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE!
