Hi, my name is Sue Miller.  I am honored to have been asked by our Department of Oregon President, Deb Duggan to hold the position of Patriotic Instructor.  It is an honor I hold dear.  I am a Life Member of VFW Post Auxiliary 3232 in Florence Oregon. I joined in 2019 under my father who served in the Army.  He was stationed in Japan during the Occupation period.  My husband is also an Army veteran who served in Germany as a medic.

          From an early age I was taught that we are to tell the words of the Lord to our children, to tell the next generation the praises of the Lord so that the future generations will know.

          Our Forefathers founded our Nation upon the Firm Foundation of our Lord – each generation has passed on lessons – We are to continue to teach our youth and our communities.

          As members of the VFW Auxiliary, we are to pass on the lessons we have been taught to Honor our Lord – our Families – our Government- our Flag - and our Veterans.

          We have many opportunities to show our Love, our Patriotism during Patriotic Days set aside by our government to REMEMBER the events in History that helped shape our Nation. 

          I hope to share lessons passed on to us by our forefathers by sharing with our Auxiliaries, here in Oregon, some of the many bits of History & Patriotism I have learned and continue to learn as I delve deeper into History and the Foundation of our Country.  This is a crucial year for America.  We will be holding elections and our citizens must play an important part in selecting governmental leaders who hold our country dear. May they be strong leaders, seeking God’s wisdom.  May God Bless and Keep us all in His Care;
