BROTHERS & SISTERS,

I WANT TO ASK EACH OF YOU TO THINK ABOUT YOUR JOB AND WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU TO ENJOY THE BENEFITS YOU EXPERIENCE HAVING A GOOD JOB. UNEMPLOYMENT HAS NOT HIT OUR AREA LIKE IT HAS EVEN IN SOME OF THE CITIES AND COUNTIES IN ALABAMA. FOR INSTANCE IN CONNECTICUT, ONE OF OUR SMALLER STATES THERE ARE OVER 35,000 PEOPLE UNEMPLOYED. WHILE WE ARE THINKING OF THIS WE MUST RECOGNIZE FT. RUCKER AND OUR SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN. WITHOUT THEM MOST OF US WOULD BE UNEMPLOYED OR WORKING IN MUCH LOWER PAYING JOBS WITH LITTLE OR NO BENEFITS. I WOULD ASK EACH ONE OF YOU TO THINK ABOUT JOINING THE FORT RUCKER-WIREGRASS CHAPTER OF THE ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY (AUSA) YOU CAN JOIN TODAY OR YOU MAY KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS IN BUSINESS IN THE SURROUNDING AREA WHO WOULD LIKE TO BECOME A CORPORATE SPONSOR. YOUR SUPPORT BENEFITS SOLDIERS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN MANY WAY SUCH AS SCOLARSHIPS, RECREATION, RECOGNITION FOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN OUR WAR EFFORTS AND MANY OTHER AREAS OF MUCH NEEDED SUPPORT.

WE NEED FT. RUCKER BUT THEY ALSO NEED US.

FOR INFORMATION ON HOW YOU CAN JOIN SIMPLY LOG ON TO AUSA.ORG OR WIREGRASSAUSA.ORG

LETS BE THE LEADERS IN SHOWING FT. RUCKER HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE THEM!

TONY BARNES

PRESIDENT LL2003
