From the Commander 

Greetings!

Aaron A Weaver Chapter 776 is awesome!

We completed our 20th Annual Purple Heart Ceremony. The auditorium was packed, our Chapter well represented, every school in the district had a display, and all three High Schools had JROTC Cadets in attendance.

We had an impressive showing of Gold Star Mothers and Chapter Members. The musicians of the Nature Coast Community Band outdid themselves. Almost every local elected official was in attendance, including Congressman Gus Bilirakis. 

Our own Will Korber received a Badge of Military Merit during the ceremony from the Commander of the local Sons of the American Revolution Chapter who, in period dress, represented General George Washington. Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative became a Purple Heart Entity. Seven Quilts of Valor were awarded to veterans in attendance. A program like no other. Well done, Patriots!

The next Citrus County Building Alliance (CCBA) Fishing Tournament isApril 25-26 with the Captain's Meeting Fridayevening April 24. As in past years, professional boat captains have invited Chapter members to participate for free in the tournament. Chapter members interested in “Going fishing” should contact me at 407-579-6190 orobakesan@att.net.

Until next time, Yours in Patriotism

Richard Hunt, Commander
