January 4, 2008
When one tallies up the results of our hard work on our 2008 Resolutions for action by the Congress, we can give ourselves a pat on the back and a good “Hooah” for modest progress. I remain grateful to our members and chapters for actively participating in one of our key grassroots programs in AUSA: the annual compilation of AUSA legislative goals and Army need - our AUSA Resolutions. For 2008, we had the highest chapter participation ever in development of this year’s resolutions. Thanks.
This past year’s modest success has been the result of a vast lack of bipartisan support for just about anything that came up on the docket. As a result, national defense issues did not receive the time and careful attention needed – particularly as relates to our Army at war.
I am grateful for the hard work of the House and Senate Army Caucus members and the leaders and staff of the four congressional defense committees. They know we are at war and what our needs are in both appropriation and authorization work.

Wounded Warrior Project Party
Pete and Carol Marion, along with the AUSA Sunshine Chapter, hosted a fundraiser to support the Wounded Warrior Project. A host of military and industry guests, to include Congressman Tom Feeney (R-FL24), joined the holiday festivities while providing donations for the project.
The attendees contributed over $5000 for the project. "Know others have done more but for our first event we were very satisfied", quoted Pete Marion, Lead Executive for the US Army PEO STRI Customer Support Group. A retired Lieutenant Colonel himself, Pete was pleased about the entire event.
