I hope your Victory Tour is going well, Kathy. Thanks so much for all you do for GOE and our troops!
The Victory tour is awesome and now it truely is a victory! The Vermont legislature unanimously passed a joint resolution naming May 6th Vermont Vets for Victory Day! Here is the resolution. LTC Russell has really worked very hard, along with David Ayer and Sandy Combs to get this through. I’m not sure what the final wording was, but this is the original resolution. I’ll try to find the final resolution tomorrow. Thank you LTC Russell and the VETS FOR VICTORY!
