Welcome letter from Rock Merritt, President

508th Parachute Infantry Regiment Association

( Presidents Report)

As President of the 508th PIR, Association, I want to welcome all of you to Cody Wy, to celebrate our 2lst reunion .

This past year has been a busy year for your board of directors , the transition of our new secretary and treasurer has been outstanding and is going great. Our Vice President Hank LeFebvre has the O.B. Hill awards program on track and awards will be presented at our welcoming breakfast on Friday, Hank is also working on our memorial certificates. Paul Hamblin our outgoing President in 94 is chairman of a committee on the future of our assoc, so if you have some input on the future of the assoc, Paul would love to hear from you.

George Stoeckert and Ed Ott has done an outstanding professional job in assembling all the changes into our C&B that was voted on and approved in Atlanta Ga last year you should find a copy in your registration packet.
I had the privilege on Veterans day to lay a wreath at the grave site of our M.O.H. First Sergeant Leonard Funk at Arlington National Cemetery and to say a few words on behalf of our assoc, I also represented the 508th laying a wreath at the tomb of our unknown soldiers.

You have an outstanding board of directors and it has been a pleasure working with them this past year plus all other members of this outstanding assoc,

/s/ Rock Merritt
President
