VIDEO - Alan Sconiers Says Thanks, Gets Ready to Deploy to Iraq...

If you missed Wednesday's meeting at the Wynfrey, you missed the news that Alan Sconiers, our 2008 Chapter President, expects to deploy to Iraq in January. 

We've been lucky to have Alan's leadership in our chapter, and you know what?  Our country is lucky to have high quality people like Alan protecting our interests here and abroad.  We're proud of his commitment to serve, as I'm sure his family and friends are as well.

Since Alan likely won't make our December meeting due to training commitments necessary as a part of the deployment schedule, I cornered him at the Wynfrey and asked him to give those of you who couldn't make the November meeting a few words.  Take a look at the video; his thoughts about the commitment he made, as a soldier many years ago, are well worth the time.

Alan - from everyone at BSHRM, thanks for the leadership, and as you say in the video - we'll see you soon...

Alan: You will carry with you to Iraq the admiration and thanks of all who call you friend and leader, our hope and faith in a successful mission, and our earnest prayers for your speedy and safe return. We are proud that you represent our chapter, our state, our profession and our country. May we never forget the price of our way of life, nor the personal sacrifice of our friends like you. May God continue to bless you, your family, your comrades, and our great Nation. Charles
