Commander's Message

Fellow Forumeers,

On behalf of our State Officer and Office Staff I wish us all a Happy New Year. Let’s begin the New Year by reaching out and working for a successful year for our organization and us.

We had a good year, and will continue to share ideas with all members, especially those unable to attend state meetings and conferences. We want to assure you all that we are here to help and are doing all we can for all fellow Veterans. We will make an effort to visit chapters encourage building new ones, and ask that everyone participate. We have several new chapters and our membership is increasing.

News and important information from the State and National headquarters is available to every member on this site. I invite you here to keep informed and pass on news and information about your organization to other members without access to computers.

Our first State Board meeting will be in Austin on February 25, 2012. The Austin Chapters will be hosting our National Mid-year Conference in San Antonio, Texas in March, honoring our great successful program, the NVOP. Our state Conference in June in Del Rio is in capable hands assuring us of a successful conference. Omaha Nebraska is the site for the 2012 National Conference in July. We look forward to participating with a good delegation. All of these events are posted on this site with complete information, contact person, including registration and other forms included. Please make plans to attend and support all these events.

Our State Office in Austin recently moved upstairs, the address is the same except it’s now Suite 200 instead of 100. Remember, there is only one American GI Forum of Texas, Inc. Our mission is to address the needs of our fellow Veterans and their families. Let’s enjoy the New Year and continue with our mission. Thank you for supporting the American GI Forum of Texas, Inc.
