This visit was to my home Detachment for the Fall Conference. I arrived on Friday afternoon in time to see the National Commander of The American Legion Fang Wong (NY) do his Q&A session for the Department. Lots of good questions for the commander. From thier it was off to speak to the Florida American Legion Riders. The riders had a large turnout. I was so glad to have the opportunity to speak to them as I am grateful for all of the hard work they do for The American Legion Family.
After the meetings were over it was time to go out to dinner and we had Japanese for dinner (one of my favorites) and then back to the hotel to get ready for the meetings on Saturday.
I have to say this was a working meeting for me as am I not only the National Commander, but I am also a Detachment Assistant Adjutant so I was running the A/V equipment for our meeting. We had the best meeting in a long while. NEC John, Commander Bill and Sgt-At-Arms Mike visited both The American Legion and THe American Legion Auxiliary meetings and the Auxiliary was having a workshop like no other meeting I have been to in 20 years. I had a great time, and I know they were having a great time. That evening we had the Commander's and President's banquet - the entertainment was fabulous with a female impersonator singing and dancing.
Sunday wrapped up with The Legion Family Joint Memorial Service and then the ride home.
Thanks to my Florida Legion Family for a great weekend.
