Last week we celebrated Veterans Day, so I want to take this opportunity to express our chapter’s sincere appreciation for all that our military veteran volunteers have done to help maintain freedom in our country. We have a deep sense of gratitude for the sacrifices each of you have made in regard to your families, friends, careers, personal goals, etc. for the sake of service to our country and the betterment of us as citizens. Please know that the American Red Cross will always feel indebted to you for allowing us the freedom to serve our communities when they are in greatest need!
I also want to take the opportunity in this article to express even more appreciation to our volunteers who deployed in response to both Hurricanes these past couple of months (Florence and Michael)! You were all strong representatives of our chapter. Our efforts proved invaluable to the assignments we were given and the communities we impacted for healing and restoration. Our participation helped assist our Tennessee Region in breaking the “200 barrier” for overall number of volunteers to respond in September and October! Heather and I couldn’t be more proud, and we know that our chapter will be even stronger in the future due to the invaluable experience we all gained in our service to communities in our neighbor states of the Carolinas, Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Go Mid-West TN chapter!!
