PROGRAM OF EVENTS
It is an honor for me to welcome you to the 2022 National Commander’s and 
National President’s banquet.
Tonight we celebrate the success our AMVETS family has enjoyed during the 
past year. Let us also appreciate those who have made outstanding contributions 
to serve our nation’s veterans, their families, and the communities in which they 
live. Without your efforts, AMVETS would not stand as the strong and influential 
veteran service organization it is today. Let us renew our commitments as 
members of the AMVETS family and continue to hold our focus on preserving 
freedoms, supporting America’s defenders, and serving our communities.
It has been such an honor to serve as our National Commander and I look 
forward to seeing AMVETS succeed in all its future endeavors.
