Companions,

May God’s richest Blessings be with you and your families now and through the year. This time of year brings with it a time for reflection on challenges and achievements of the past year(s) and a Joy that springs anew as we look forward. Take this time to be with Family (in person or via Social Media….(if you need a Zoom Window, lemme know), each of your families; biological, professional, and social. Share a bit of yourself with them and strengthen the bonds. Extend your family by reaching out to someone new or someone who has been out of your life for a while. This time of year can bring us all closer together.

Share a bit of your past memories of the Season with all of us too! We have placed a BLOG on the website where you can reflect on the times we were away during our service and what that meant to each of us or just the experience itself….there are a lot of stories out there.

I wish you all the most Blessed Holiday Season and the love and joy of Christmas for each of you.

Best Wishes,

For the Good of the Order

Bob Whitkop, CAPT, USN (Ret)
Commander General
