Greetings Fellow AB's;
It is truly an honor to be the President of the Greatest Association in the Navy. To be numbered amongst the great past Presidents who have lead this association for over 40 Years is humbling. I am Proud to be an AB and I will carry out this office with due diligence, passion and integrity. I sincerely appreciate your confidence in me and all of your support.
I would like to start off by thanking Captain (Sel) Mike Singleton and Commander (Sel) Mike Garber For their amazing two year tenures as President and Vice President. Under their Leadership, the Association has gained membership, strength and is financially sound. It is my desire to build upon the foundation laid by these great men.
I want to thank Mr. Yaskin and the AB's of the Great Northwest for an awesome job they did with this years Symposium/Professional Working Group Conference at the Silverdale Inn, Silverdale WA. It takes allot of hard work and planning to host the event. Outstanding job and well done!
The Tidewater Chapter under the Leadership of ABHCS Stumm is well into planning for the 2012 Symposium/Professional Working Group Conference, which will be held at the Marriott Chesapeake, 725 Woodlake Drive. Chesapeake, Va. 23320. More info to follow at a later date.
I want to encourage all the Local Chapter Presidents to keep doing the hard work that you have been doing. It does not go unnoticed and you are making a difference. Thank you. If you are doing something great or have found a creative way of impacting the Community please pass it to the others. We are only as strong as our weakest link. I plan to do a Conference call with the Chapter Presidents in the very near future. I will e-mail time and access # for the call.
This year we really need to show Honor to our Retirees for all the many sacrifices they have made for the ABMA and this grateful Nation. Without them, many of us would have traveled down the wrong road. Invite them out to lunch, take their photos and capture their stories. Whatever you do, don't allow their voice to go silent. This information needs to get into the hands of Captain (Ret) McFarlane our AB Historian.
Lastly, we want every AB Active and Retired to "Each one Reach one". This is a banner year for the Military and Naval Aviation. We are Celebrating 100 Years of Naval Aviation and that would not be the case if it were not for the thousands of AB's that have gone before us paving the way. Talk to your young Sailors about our History, they will listen. They want to feel the AB Pride that we all posses. Let's step up the Recruiting effort and get our young AB's involved. God Bless you.
LCDR Moss, ABMA President
