Darrol L. Brown As a Vietnam era veteran, I feel it is my responsibility to serve as a member of the most dynamic service organization for veterans. Although I never served in Vietnam, my active duty included serving from May '72 to Mar '73 at Ramasun Army Station, Nan Sung, Thailand, with the US Air Force Security Service's 6924th Security Squadron as a communication analyst. The highlight of my SEA timne included Linebacker II and the POW Freedom Birds. I also spent Oct '70 to Mar '72 with the 6920th Security Group, Misawa Air Base, Japan.
My first exposure to VVA happened at the 1994 National Leadership Conference. In February 1995 I became a member of Carson Area Chapter 388, Carson City, Nevada, as a member of the Reflection Awards Banquet committee. 388 elected me Chatper President in 1996. Nevada State Council elected me Vice-President in 1998. I served 4 years in each position and currently serve as 388's Treasurer. In 2001 Alan Cook appointed me his Alternate Region Director. I attended the 1996 Leadership Conference and 1997 and 1999 National Conventions.
If elected Region IX Director, I will concentrate on building membership from within existing chapters and state councils. I also plan to develop Region IX Resolutions to accomplish between conventions and employ the state council presidents as the Regional Advisory Council. All Region IX agendas, decisions, goals and objectives will be approved at Region IX meetings held at least 3 times each year. Let's continue the legacy.
