Commander-in-Chief s CommentsIn life, we learn early that things matter: words,

symbols, actionseach of these takes on an impor-tance that may overshadow its reality. Sometimes, the

value results from the impact of the event, and some-times the event occurs because of its relationship tosomething else of great importance.

In American history, there is perhaps no more im-

portant date than July 4, 1776. n that date, represen-tatives of the United States of America resolved for-mally that they were (and of right ought to be) freeand independent of the bonds which had tied themto Great ritain. As the musicians of Lord Cornwallislater observed, that resolution marked a world turnedupside-down, and the eects of that declaration werefelt well beyond the time and the place of the resolution.

e importance of that date in our history later caused other events to be observed onthe same date, or important actions to be taken on the occasion of some future Fourth oJuly. Sometimes, the coincidence was purely that, as in the cases of the deaths of three oour founding fathers, each of whom later became president of the United States he helpe

to found.Almost every schoolchild in America knows something of the story that John Adam

had hoped to live to mark the ieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration. Iwas, then, almost mystical when, on that half-century mark in 1826, Adams pronouncedhis last words: omas Jeerson still survives, just before dying at his farm in QuincyMassachusetts.

f course, as we all now know, Jeerson did not survive his friend and political rival. Instead, about six hours earlier, the draer of the Declaration had asked, Is it theFourth? And he died in Monticello, shortly before Adams.

ut these were not the only American icons whose lives (and deaths) were so closelylinked to our Independence Day: James Monroe, Americas h president (and the last towear a powdered wig and knee breeches) also died on the Fourth of July, 1831.

e signicance of certain dates and some events frequently inuences what we doand when we do it. ecause of the importance of Independence Day, the United StateMilitary Academy at West Point was formally opened on July 4, 1802. And in 1803, theFourth of July was chosen as the date upon which the Louisiana Purchase was announcedpublicly to the American people, doubling the size of our infant Nation.

In 1831, it was on our National holiday that America was rst sung, in oston.In 1884, the date marked the occasion for the ceremony at which the Statue of Liberty

was presented to the United States in Paris.And in 1950, the rst broadcast of Radio Free urope was undertaken on Independenc

Day.e important events in the life of a nation or of an individual tend to dene each o

them. ey aect the way we view them by determining the lens through which we wil

examine their history and their future actions. We are inextricably linked to the valuewe have held up as important, and what we do in the furtherance of those values is as important as the values themselves.

e values of the Military rder of the World Wars are pretty easily understood by alof us. ey are laid out in simple, concise terms in the Preamble. ut how well do we asCompanions of the rder pursue the achievement of the goals which we have set for ourselves? Are we recruiting the next members of our organization? How well do we fund thpurposes for which we were organized? Are we using our experience in national securitaairs to inform our fellow citizens of the dangers that lie in wait for an unprepared andunconcerned nation that is unwilling even to defend its own borders?

As we celebrate the 234th anniversary of the birth of our country this month, lets remember the patriotic role for which our rder was created, and lets evaluate the degree

to which each of us is supporting that role. Help Spread the Fire!

Commander-in-Chiefs

End of Tour Report, 20092010Companions:

When I became Commander-in-Chief inaltimore, I had certain ideas regarding whatwould constitute success during my tour.Following the convention, I massaged thoseideas, and in the ctober issue of this magazine, I pub-lished my goals in four areas: Membership, Finances,National Security, and outh Leadership and Patrioticducation. Some may believe that the goals were too ambi-tiousand they may be right; however, I think they wereall attainable with even amoderate amount of eorton all our parts.

So, aer almost a year,how did we do?

Membesp

Its hard to match ourrders scal year withour operational year. Inaddition, theres always atime lag between the dateof a report and the date ofthe underlying data uponwhich the report is based.Nonetheless, I think trends are pretty clear, and shouldprovide us all with some real cause for concern.

Im writing this over the Memorial Day weekend, for theJuly issue ofOfcer Review magazine. e most recent dataavailable from the Region Report are for the period begin-ning 30 June 2009 and ending 30 April 2010. ere willcertainly be some changes in the nal quarter; however, itsunlikely that a years-old picture is likely to change materi-ally over the near term.

In the nine months covered by our most current mem-bership data, the rder picked up 218 new members and re-instated another 15, for a total increase of 233. at doesntseem too bad, does it? ats about 2.32% of our member-ship at the beginning of the scal year.

Remember, though, that our goal was to increase our

membership by ve percent. Adjusted for the fact that wereusing the results from only nine months of the year, thatmeans that we should have grown by about 375 members.So, our achievement was really that we signed up onlyabout 61.8% of our goal. ut wait a moment: We didnt saywe wanted to sign up a certain number. ur goal was toINCRAS our numbers by ve percent. We need to seewhether there were any losses that oset any of our gains.In fact, there wereand more.

As I travel to chapters around the country, I am remind-ed that we are an aging rder, and that death isnt a factor

over which we have much control. ats truIts also a supercial response to a serious question. nly 48 of our members died during thnine months in question. Unfortunately, thatalso the same number of Companions whresigned during the same nine months. veworse, 248 members who were on our bookdecided that what we were doing wasnt wort

the reinvestment of their time or money, and when it camtime to renew their memberships, they declined to do soWhy? I hope that someone in the chapter called each annual member when his renewal date was approaching, tinquire about his intentions, or to see what concerns migh

need to be addressed in oder to maintain the interest of those we had alreadrecruited. ut hope asidI know that didnt happenWe are too easily pleasewith recruiting new mem

bers, and too oen forgethat retention is just as important. In this case, instead of increasing our rolby an apparent 2.32% in thnine-month period, we actually lost 111 members, o1.10%. ven less encourag

ing is that the Region Report shows that VR SINGLRGIN in the rder lost living members during the ninmonths. at is unsustainable. Its also an indicator of systemic problem, and the continually repeated suggestio

that we can solve such a problem simply by enlarging oupool of eligible candidates is a mirage. Its an excuse to explain our failure to UILD TH RDR.

Fnanes

I think we all understand the nancial realities of lifasically, we realize that what we do costs money, anwhether were speaking of family budgets or national onewe cannot long live beyond our means. In the rder, wsimply limit our activities to what we can aord to supporMost of us would like to be active in more areas of our live

but we understand that we are all pulled in many directions by a variety of worthwhile causes, and our resourceas individuals are not without very practical limits.

Nonetheless, all our programs are trying to extend opportunities to increasing numbers of participants, ancosts seem to riseespecially in dicult economic timesat a rate that exceeds any corresponding rise in our incom

As CINCs have done in recent years, I asked you for additional contributions from our membership, in order thelp us meet a minimal budget in support of the programoutlined in the Preamble to the Constitution of our rde


5/32fcer eview uly/August 2010

And as reported in the June issue ofOfcer Review maga-zine, our Companions responded: we raised $90,400 thisyear, against a target amount of $90,000. I thank those whowere able to contribute to this solicitation, and Im prettycertain that some nal contributions are likely to add tothis total before the end of our scal year.

To assist the rder in our long-term nancial planning,I urge everyone to consider making contributions to thendowment Fund. Such contributions are recognized onthe Donor Wall at the Headquarters, and (tax deductible)contributions of at least $1,000 are also recognized with anAmerican agle in ceramic material.

Finally, as supportive members of the rder, we ought atleast to consider including a bequest in our estate planning.I encourage everyone to look at these programs that enableus to FUND TH AGNDA.

Naonal Sey

At the national level, I am most appreciative ofthe increasingly professional results we see from the

National Security Committee. More relevant arti-cles, discussions and fact sheets are routinely availableon the rders website, at a dedicated page located at:www.mowwnationalsecurity.com

At the local level, however, I havent seen the activity Ihad hoped for. ach chapter ought to have a NationalSecurity Committee that includes a speakers bureau. neof the assets of an organization such as ours is a collectionof members with demonstrable experience in the politico-military area. At a time when our Nations role in the worldarena is the subject of great discussion, that experienceshould be shared, both within our ranks and at meetings oflocal civic, social and fraternal organizations. Few groupshave such a wealth of information at their disposal as wedo, and we need to be eager to share our experience at atime in our countrys history when our future is more thanever likely to be determined by informed discussion.

With the exception of a handful of chapters, however, Idont see that we are doing nearly so much as we should inthis area. Look at what you can do for your country andyour community, and help to INFLUNC AMRICASSCURIT FCUS.

is is one of the bright spots in our rder. Certainchapters and Regions continue to develop and to expandtheir hosting of outh Leadership Conferences, and it ap-pears in my travels that increasing numbers of chapters aresponsoring students at the established conferences. At atime when the public education systems across the coun-try are being generally criticized for their failure to teachthe basic subjects needed to produce an informed citizenry,our conferencesparticipation in which is approved by theNational Association of Secondary School Principalsare

the only national alternative of which I am aware that oeLeadership, Patriotism and Free nterprise as the foundation for student development. We need to continue to streand to expand these opportunities.

Additionally, our support of RTC and JRTC programs continues to increase. e RTC Committee ha

also developed the relationships established in recent yeathrough the Resolutions of Cooperation with PershinRies, Scabbard and lade and the Arnold Air Societese, along with the programs to provide medals to RTand JRTC programs oer us the opportunity to develofuture leaders in our military and in our communities.

Finally, more chapters appear to be participating in programs to recognize achievement by oy Scouts and GiScouts.

e strength of these youth programs is a source of continuing (and increasing) success for the rder in our queto DVLP AMRICAS FUTUR.

Serving as the Commander-in-Chief of the rder for thpast year has been a great honor. It has allowed me the opportunity to see at rst-hand examples of the many contributions made on a regular basis by our CompanionI thank particularly those who have volunteered to servin leadership positions within the rder, and those whosdedication has drawn them to organize and oversee thcommittees and programs that distinguish the Militarrder of the World Wars from the dozens of other Veteran

Stealth Jihad in The U. S.By Past CINC LTG R. L. Sam WetzelColumbus, Georgia, Chapter

Last spring in l Paso, Texas, I got my battery charged ata superb Massing of e Colors over 90 units with theirNational ags and organization ags paraded into thislarge Catholic ChurchArmy Units, order Patrol Units,oy and Girl Scouts, Firemen, Police, Sheris, all kinds of

organizations.Seeing all those Patriots reminded me that Freedom is

not free and that we have to be aware when our freedomand National Security is threatened and that is what Iwant to focus on today: our reedom and National Securityis threatenedand I will explain why.

We are in a number of wars: an Iraq War, an AfghanistanWar, a potential nuclear war concerning Iran (which I speakon and will be glad to answer questions aer my remarks);a order Drug War; a potential war with North Korea; apotential war with China; and very important an ide-ological waror a religious warthe oen called War nTerror which term by the way is verboten in Washington!

is religious war is my focus today. I call it StealthWaror Stealth Jihad in the Untied States.

Stealth Jihad is a term coined by a title of a book byRobert Spencer titled Stealth Jihad-How Radical Islam isSubverting America Without Guns and ombs.

We see it happening all over the worldin thePhilippinesin ailandin Indonesiain AfricainSouth Americain the Middle astand really spreadingthroughout urope!

e radical Islamists goal is world dominationand they

are very patient about it.Look at urope for example54 million muslims. Here

is how it works: First, they immigrate in large numbers.Second, they populate with as many as ten to a family. enthey gain control of their neighborhood. Next, they gaincontrol of the district they live in, and nally, they gaincontrol of the town or villageand impose the IslamicSharia Law.

What is the Sharia Law?Dierent countries have their own versions-none of them

very nice.In Saudi Arabia [e Qatif Girl Rape Case, 2006] a girl

18 years of age was gang raped by seven men. She was calledan adulterous and sentenced to six months in jailplus

received 200 lashes for violating the countrys strict segregation law by sitting in a car with her boyfriend.

In 2002, a man in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was given 4,75lashes for sexual relations with his sister-in-law.

Another man was imprisoned for three years and received 3,000 lashes for religious nonconformityin other words, practicing Christianity.

I just last week heard about a Saudi who converted tChristianity and is in hiding since the Sharia law penalt

for converting to Christianity is death.Teenagers directing insults against their faith or the

teachers are oen whipped and jailed.ne day I was in Ryadh, at noon on a Friday and aske

what was going on in the town square. ieves lose thehands at noon on Fridays in Ryadh, Saudi Arabia,.

Sharia law is the body of Islamic religious law. It is thlegal framework within which the complete public and prvate aspects of life are regulated.

France made the mistake of letting Muslimsliving iFrancelive by the Sharia law in some enclaves in thcountry.

e Archbishop of Canterbury recently said that seems unavoidable for the Muslims in Great ritain tuse the Sharia law for some enclaves for their people.

In Denmark: the Muslim population is growing so fathat in 40 years one third of the population will be Muslim

Right now it is 5%, but they consume 40 percent of thwelfare spendingand make up most of the convicted rapists.

So the Danes toughened their immigration laws. omust live in Denmark for 7 years before applying for citzenship and must attend three years of language and pas

a test on Danish history, culture and language. Not a baidea!

y the way, why dont we have a law that requires threyears of nglish to live here. I am tired of Push 1 fonglish, 2 for Spanish and so forth.

ats just the tip of the iceberg in urope. What abou

the United States? Remember e Russians are cominge Russians are coming! Well, I say to you that

Sharia has been defined as Muslim or Islamic law which governs both civil and criminal justice as well as regulat-

ing individual conduct both personal and moral. The custom-based body of law based on the Quran and the religion

of Islam. Because, by definition, Muslim states are theocracies, religious texts are law, the latter distinguished by

Islam and Muslims in their application, as Sharia or Sharia law.

Muslims are coming!the Radical Islamists are comingto the United Statesandthey are bringing their lovelySharia law to be the law of the land.

ere are over 7 million Muslims in the US and over 1million in Canada.

is 8 million will grow to 16 million by 2014-just four-years from now.

eir growth rate is 6% versus 0.9 % for the rest of theUS, 67% of American Muslims are under age 4067% of

the American population is over 40.Additionally, 17-to-30% of US Muslims are converts;

30% are lack Americans (some say African American)and many recruited in our jails and in the military.

ere are over 3,000 mosques in the US: 45 are inGeorgia2 here in Columbus, 26 in Alabama; 19 inTennessee; 18 in South Carolina; 34 in North Carolina; 227in California 56 in Texas67 in Pennsylvania, and soforth.

ne mega-mosque in oston, costing $20 million, wasbuilt on discounted city land, with massive funding fromSaudi Arabia and other Gulf sourcesthe city bent over

backwards for the Muslims!Twenty percent of these 3,000 US mosques have fulltime

madrasses (schools) teaching the Koran, and 80% of the USmosques are controlled by Radical Islamists who teach an-ti-west extremism.

I read an article last week about a secretive foreign net-work of Islamic Radicals operating dozens of charterschools in the US. As charter schools, they are entitled toreceive government money and they are not required toadopt the state approved curriculum.

ese schools are run by the Daisy ducation

Corporation and promoted by a Turkish preacher namedFethullah Glen. ese charter schools are designated asscience academies to advance science and math butthey also have another mission and that is to promoteIslamic beliefs.

ese charter schools are concentrated in Texas, hioand California. Authorities in Arizona and Utah are in-vestigating their charter schools as we speak, [Editors note:with Utah closing their school in May, 2010. According

to Utahs Deseret News e vote to revoke the eehivScience & Technology charter, a state contract that granthe independently run school public education dollars, waunanimous. For an online source concerning this issuvisit www. Charter.School.Watchdog.com]

I understand there are also government-funded programs to bring Arabic-speaking students here to encouragUS students to learn Arabic. Why?

Next, lets focus on Radical Islams rst training camp

here in the US.Did you know that at last count there are 35 know

Radical Islamic training camps in the US? ne is iGeorgia. It is near commerce just o Highway 326. I thinthere is another one near Jessup, but I cannot verify that.

wned by the Muslims of America with 25-30acres each. Much of this is orchestrated by the Muslimrotherhood of gypt.

In 1982, the Muslim rotherhood developed a plan t

spread jihad in the US. Muslim student associations wercreated. ere are now over 600 of these on college campues in the US. arly funding was provided by Saudi Arabia

ey have been around for a long timefor examplethe rst Muslim student association was started in 1963, the University of Illinois.

Sharia law caused

over 80 Iraqi women in

Diyala province to commit suicide to escape

the shame of having

been raped. They chos

to become suicide bombers to escape the shame

and punishmment of being buried and stoned (pi

tured above). Their rapes were planned in advan

by 51-year-old Iraqi woman Samira Jassim (inset

left), who confessed to Iraqi police that she orga

nized their rapes so she could later persuade eac

of them to become a suicide bomber to escape

their shame.



Nowthat is really bending over backwards for theMuslims. More political correctness.

Muslim enclaves are spreading all over the US, fromLittle Rock, Arkansas to Minnesota, California, Lansingand Dearborn Michigan, New Jersey, over here in Macon,Georgia, and many other locations around America. Justlike urope.

Islam is a complete way of life, not just religious, but eco-nomicsociallawsgovernment.

e goal is complete world domination with the Sharialaw as the law of the land in every country.

e conquest of America from within will not take placeovernight. e Muslim brotherhood is intent to graduallygain control of every aspect of our livesand using ourquote political correctness. And our bending over back-wards to them only plays into their hands and fuels theirintensity.

Many examples around the country include special facil-ities for Muslim taxi drivers in airports, such as foot bathsand prayer rooms.

Radical Islamists long term strategy is to quietly under-mine our National Security forcing ever greater accom-modation of Islamic practices minimizing any criticism

whatsoever of Islam or any Islamic individual.eir plan is to own their own TV stations have their

own political party, their own newspapers, their own radiostations and an Islamic Central ank.

ne of the Muslim rotherhoods goals is to estab-lish a central Islamic court to mete out the lovely ShariaPunishments I mentioned and a Muslim attorneys soci-ety.

And-get this interestingly enough- is to eventually geta Muslim US President who can appoint Muslims to theUS Supreme Court! Now isnt that interesting?

What can we do to prevent all this from happening? Firof all, cut out the political correctness garbage.

at we cannot call them what they are they are radcal Islamists not nice guys. ey have no desire to assimilate into our culture they want their own enclaves.

Robert Spencer, in his book Stealth Jihad, suggests number of things we should do that include:

-xamine and eliminate the non-prot status of theMuslim rotherhoods front organizations that in-clude the following: CAIR (the Council on AmericanIslamic relations); e Islamic Society of North Americ

e Muslim Public Aairs Council; and Muslims ofAmerica, among others.- Close the Radical Islamists training camps. Make it anact of sedition or treason to preach or publish materialsthat call for the deaths of Americans.- Audit sovereign wealth funds in America- Cancel the scholarship student visa program withSaudi Arabia and ban their textbooks promoting hateand jihadthat are in our schools. Check your localschool libraries and textbooks, since they have been in-ltrated very quietly throughout the US.(Reminds me of the WW II Fih Column perations).

- nforce existing lawsSection 2385 of the FederalCriminal Codes clearly provides for taking down theseorganizations and individuals who call for the completeIslamization of the US.- Cancel all Saudi Arabia training contracts and blockthe sale of munitions to Saudi Arabia.- Restrict visas for the religious imams who come fromcountries that do not permit our non-muslim clergy tovisit.Now here is what else I say:

- Take the oensive with our own propaganda agains

Naons sn Saa Law



these Radical Islamists.- Clean house in the military of radical Islamists be notafraid!- Speak out and spread the word throughout this greatcountry of ours to all of the American people ofwhat is gradually happening to them by this danger-ous, ever so quiet movement of radical Islamists to takeover our Country. Islam is like a cancer working itsway into every culture like a disease.

We must protect our freedomfreedom that many ofus, here in this room, and our ancestors fought for since1776.It is time to take back our Country and stop this virusfrom spreading. Stand up and say We will not take thisanymore!- Take up the gauntlet and ght for what is right-not whatis politically correct. e radical Muslims are usingthe ACLU. ey are using political correctness theyare using diversity they are using multicultural-ism to their benet and ruining our Country.When we saw the Fort Hood shooting by an Army

Major, it woke up a lot of people of what could happen inColumbus, Georgia, and elsewhere, but the rst thing I

heard from the Army Chief of Sta was his worry abouits impact on diversity. I should have sent him RobeSpencers book a primer on Stealth Jihad.

And last week, we heard about Jihad Jane. ey aramong us more and more each day.

Why cant the Pledge of Allegiance with ne NatioUnder God be said in some of our public schools, anhave the children be taught to show respect for our Flagas we did here today. Next time, at an athletic event, take

look around and see how many show the proper respect tour Flag. en do something about it.

Final note: ur Country is in trouble not just for thcurrent huge debt we have and many other reasons buis in trouble long-range from Radical Islamists benon gaining control of our Country and imposing theSharia law.

ou are all great Americans. Continue to support outroops. Speak out! American depends on you.

I appreciate being with you today.

General Patton and MeBy AJ Carroll J. Jones, Sr.Joseph H. Pendleton, Caliornia, Chapter

I was a 2nd LT Reconnaissance cer withthe 135th ngineer Combat attalion, XXCorps, 3rd United States Army on August 14,1944 in France. e attalion Commander,MAJ Harold F. Dyer, the perations cer,

CAPT Robert Clapp, myself and about six en-listed men in three jeeps were enroute betweenLe Mans and Chartres France, when it becamenightfall. We bivouacked well o the mainroad somewhere in the vicinity of Courville-sur-ure.

e next morning, aer the cold C rations,MAJ Dyer told me to proceed on down the roadtoward Chartres, see what was going on andreport back. I took o down the road with thedriver and my Reconnaissance Sergeant whoalso served as interpreter. We encountered no

one else on the road. Arriving at the outskirtsof Chartres we came upon a blown out rail-road overpass and a gruesome scene of deadAmerican and German soldiers. bviouslythere had been a great deal of action the dayor night before. A truckload of Germans hadbeen run o the road and burned up with thetruck.

ere was a 2 1/2-ton truck over in the eldburned up with ten or twelve U.S. soldiersstrewn about who had been burned to death.

ut in the eld, on both sides of the road, therewere a great many German foxholes some ofwhich were occupied by dead German Soldiersstill looking down the sights of their ries. It appeared theyhad been defending the overpass. ere was not a live hu-man anywhere in evidence.

We were reconnoitering the overpass when two FrenchRed Cross men approached on a motorcycle equipped witha side-car. e Sergeant spoke to them and learned theywere looking for wounded. Finding no wounded, the RedCross men quickly mounted up and got out of there. Weproceeded to complete our report of the overpass condi-

tion which showed a large separation in the center sectionrendering it impassable. We walked across to the other sidejumping over the separation and spent quite some time lei-surely measuring and discussing the damage with no ap-parent threat to our safety. Aer completing our inspec-tion we remounted and proceeded back up the road to re-port.

We were stopped by a number of Field Grade cersfrom the 7th Armored Division asking us what was goingon up there. Although I wanted to talk to my own com-mander before making any report, I felt obliged to answer

their inquiries, which I did. However, before allowing mto give a full report they gathered in a huddle excludinme and started discussing the overpass among themselvewhich somehow became a long bridge over a river. MADyer and CAPT Clapp arrived on the scene and joined thgroup in discussion rather than ask me for a report. FinallCAPT Clapp le the group and asked me for the detailwhich I gave him, recommending that a bailey bridge blaid across the existing abutments which were still intact.

Company C of our attalion under the command oCAPT Paul A. Kalashian was dispatched to the scene to secure the area and put in the bridge. Later MAJ Dyer told mto go on back up there, stick around and keep him posteas to what was going on. I went back up as told. Upon arrival at the vicinity I found abandoned C Company truckall up and down the road parked every which way, but, aout in the road. e men were dismounted and out in thditches on both sides. I was stopped and advised not to gany further as they had run into enemy rie re and it wanot wise to proceed. erefore, I dismounted and directe

German prisoners from around the area over which mymen and I had previously been traversing without incident.Most frightening was the information that two mannedGerman 88s were positioned on the enemy side, trained onthe overpass. Why we were not killed I will never know, ex-cept that God does look aer fools and dumbbells.)

We had just gotten the jeep o the road and I was lean-ing against it, nonchalantly smoking a cigarette, when menfrom the rear of the convoy called out, Heads up, brass acoming. I had no more heard the warning than I looked upand there was General George S. Patton, Jr., Commander ofthe 3rd Army, in his greatest glory standing up in his jeep

Its Time to Make Some FriendsBy CDR John A. BaumgartenRichmond, Virginia, Chapter

Without doubt, the num-ber one problem facing theMWW today is member-ship. At present, there areabout 8,000 living, breathing

members of the rder remain-ing among its ever-shrinkingnumber of chapters, and only

about 2,000 of these survivors are active in supporting themany good works the rder accomplishes. As each monthgoes by, chapters, departments and even regions, are beingmerged or shut down, as there are no longer enough activeCompanions to support their operation and continuance.

As non-perpetual Companions continue to age and be-come inrm, it is becoming more dicult to retain them asannual dues-paying members - many do not even rememberthat they are Companions of the rder. Advancing age and

inrmity also prevents many Companions from actively re-cruiting new members, as many can no longer drive, are toofeeble to travel or man recruiting activities, or do not possessthe presence of mind or ability to engage in telephonic re-cruiting of new members.

Many of our elder members can no longer attend chaptermeetings, present RTC and scout awards, or participate inplanning and .executing signature MWW events such asMassing of the Colors and outh Leadership Conferences.

In addition, recruiting new Companions for the rdersuers the additional burden of having an organizationalname to which most prospective applicants do not relate.Attracting new members to the rder is dicult enough,without having to waste precious time and eort in explain-ing that we accept all military ocers, their family membersand descendants, even though they never served in WorldWar I or World War II. Without a name change, leaving apile of MWW brochures at public venues on a military baseor post, accomplishes little, as a prospective reader of thebrochure may not take the time to learn what we are aboutaer reading the title Military rder of the World Wars.

However, the name-change issue is a secondary problem,which should be addressed at some point. e bigger prob-

lem in growing the MWW is that our recruiting focus istoo narrow. We have great products to sell: patriotism; loveof ag and country; support for the Constitution; nationalsecurity; preservation of military memorials and ceremo-nies; and the patriotic education of Americas youth. Withan ever-smaller pool of military ocers from which to at-tract new members, and many among them who expect theMWW to do something for them in exchange for theirmembership, we must expand the reach of our marketing ef-forts to include all Americans who believe in what we stand

for, and who would be willing to give of their time, talent antreasure to advance the precepts of our Preamble.

To this end, I propose that we create a new echelon of supporting membership in the MWW known as Friendof MWW. Persons who we could target to become oufriends would include: policemen and troopers; reghterMTs; ocials of state, county and city government; leadeof Chambers of Commerce and other civic and professiongroups; oy and Girl Scout troop leaders; enlisted membe

of the active-duty, Guard, Reserve and retired communitieand all non-ocer veterans; and any other patriotic members of the general public.

To legitimize these supporting memberships, we woulhave to create a national IRS 501(c)(3) organization withithe MWW to permit such friends to make annual donations to the rder of $25, to maintain their friends statuese annual supporter donations could be applied as folows: $15 to the rder to support sending our friends thnational magazine; $5 to the MWW General Fund; an$5 to the parent MWW chapter to defray membershexpenses at the local level. Such donations, along with an

other monies our friends would be encouraged to give tthe MWW or their parent chapter, would be tax-deducible. We could even oer sustaining memberships at $25which would function similar to perpetual membership the rder, with a modest annual rebate to the chapters.

To ensure that command and control of the MWW rmains vested in military ocers or their descendantfriends of the MWW would not be eligible for elective oappointive oce, or have voting rights at any level within thMWW. However, they would be welcomed as volunteerto serve on chapter committees and attend and assist at achapter meetings and functions (in non-leadership roleto include Massings of the Colors and outh LeadershConferences.

I believe there are many Americans who would readily embrace involvement in the endeavors of the MWW. y atracting such patriotic citizens to become friends of thMWW, we can accomplish several important things: (1) wcan revitalize failing chapters by expanding participation chapter aairs and events; (2) we can generate modest, bumuch-needed nancial support for the rder and its chapters; (3) we can promote greater exposure of the MWW icommunities nationwide; and (4) expand our force of abl

bodied recruiters for both Companions and Friends the MWW, as many of our friends will have relatives oacquaintances who serve, or have served, as ocers in thUniformed Services, or, who are like-minded, non-ocpatriots, who would readily become our friends and support our mission.

e MWW is a noble organization with a mission anpurpose which we cannot let wither away. We must accepand implement change to ensure its perpetuity. Making nefriends is a good way to do it.
