We have shared much meaningful hopes, for the success of our organization. I wish to inform you that I am seeking the office of, National President of the Montford Point Marine Association. My seeking the office of National President is based on my commitment to see the organization move forward as a progressive, professional and positive association.

I enter this quest with full confidence in my abilities to move this organization forward into the future, and with no illusion, knowing it demands. This will demand everything my heart, soul, and conscience can provide.

We can continue the furthering of our causes, of educating our communities and the United States Citizens of making them aware of African American contributions within the United States Armed Forces. We are closing in on our goal to ensure a lasting Montford Point Marine Association Legacy. "Preserving the Legacy"

We continue our efforts with communication, media, training, recruitment, legacy, standards and corporate funding to carry out charter responsibilities prescribed in our by-laws. This is how we hope our tenure as governing leadership will be remembered. We have "Worked Together" on all committees and listened to all recommendations from every member.

Leadership is a reflection of experience, conviction and commitment. I believe I am ready to offer a new and higher standard of leadership to our organization. Our organization is at a crossroads, we are facing a series of challenges more complex than any we have faced in the past 67 years. Such a challenge requires a leader with a vision of change far different than yesterday’s leaders.
