An important
election took place for the National Officers of the Veterans of the Vietnam
War, Inc. with the results announced at the National Convention held in
Washington, D.C. in November, 2002.
For the first time in the history of the organization an Australian
Vietnam Veteran has been elected to a position on a National level.
Peter
Forbes has been elected as the National Vice Commander with Michael Milne
re-elected to the position of National Commander. Michael Ackerfeld remains in the position of National Master
Sgt-at-Arms and Richard Schlude remains in the position of National Treasurer.
This
international relationship between Australia and the U.S. has been in place for
generations and it is a welcome addition to the organization which will help it
to expand and reach even more veterans throughout the world.
Peter Forbes had been and
continues to serve as the Australian Commander of the Veterans of the Vietnam
War and will add the responsibilities of National Vice Commander to his duties.
Congratulations
to all the National Officers.
