I appreciate the dedication of the Battalion members in our many projects this year,
and especially for helping make the re-dedication of the Monument a great success. What
amazes me is what we have accomplished this Sesquicentennial year. Now, I would like to
see us strengthen the Battalion with more new members by our involving the younger
generation in learning about the Battalion. This year we have done a great service to some
of the original Battalion members by memorializing their graves, but even more by
inspiring the living to hold family reunions, leading to temple trips to be sealed to
their ancestors. I would like to see firesides held (Any suggestions?), more histories
produced, more people more knowledgeable about the Battalion's achievements, more sense of
our Destiny. I welcome your input.
