Commander’s Comments
Judge Advocate Gordon Drumheller and I attended the 111th SCV National Reunion in New Orleans, Louisiana from 3 August through 6 August. A new constitution was approved under the Laws of Texas and new National Officers were elected including Brag Bowling as Councilman for the Army of Northern Virginia. The reunion was a great success with over 600 registered members representing over 300 camps were in attendance.
We had a good reunion and saw much of New Orleans almost a year after hurricane Katrina. The City is rebuilding but there is much work to be completed.
