DUSTOFF Association’s President’s Letter F/W 2020

Greetings to our DUSTOFF Family!

COVID-19 has changed our world over the last 6 months. I am enormously impressed with the valiant efforts our nation’s healthcare professionals have put forward to battle the virus. The Department of Defense and Army Medicine also continue to lead from the front. A Covid-19 vaccine is in reach. We must remain disciplined in our social distancing and wear of masks to protect ourselves.

And please remember, our brave Dustoff Crews are still deployed in combat operations around the world and forward deployed in Europe and Korea to face America’s next near peer threats. Please continue to pray for their safety. Dan Gower and the crew are marching forward on plans for the April 1-5 2021 Reunion “Go Around” at Fort Benning, GA. Please save the date and make your reservations early. As always, please feel free to provide any insight and/or recommendations at any time throughout the year, either to me or a member of the Executive Council.

I’m proud to be a member of our organization and look forward to seeing you all at Fort Benning in 2021!
DUSTOFF!
