LtCol Altweis and LTC Chamberlayne

On behalf of the Board of Direction, I'm happy to welcome you to one of the most active Posts on the east coast. As I reflect on our progress, I'm pleased that our membership is increasing, we have a student chapter at The Citadel, we have a nationally-recognized sustaining member, and we continue with our Industry Day. We host events for our Young Members and our monthly programs are getting more interesting and informative each time. I look forward to more success in the Post, and I invite you to actively participate and assist us in meeting out goals. I wish you only the best in 2013 and hope to see and talk to you at our gatherings.


Warm Regards
LTC Chamberlayne
