Department Commander Ray Humphrey

Pass Down Log (July 26)

We have just completed another successful year, capping it off with the 107th Department Convention! Over the past year, under Commander Michael Schwartz’s leadership, the Department improved in so many ways. We have been, and continue to operate under, a balanced budget; our membership percentage ended the year higher than where it began, and our Constitution and By-Laws were updated and approved! Many thanks to Commander Schwartz and his team for their hard work and efforts to leave The Department of Georgia in good shape!
We are now entering a new era with our 250th Year of American Freedom! Let us not forget that freedom is not free; it is a price that was paid by the American Veteran Family! The responsibility now falls on us, the Department leadership, our members, and our families, to continue to improve upon the past year’s success! As the Commander of the Department of Georgia, I want to hear your thoughts, ideas, and vision on where you want to see the Department of Georgia go next!  We must all take ownership in the continued success or failure of our organization!  We can’t fix it if we don’t know it is broken!  Also, remember that membership is the lifeblood of our organization!  We have the people and we have the power to make Legion Year 2026 – 2027 one of the best in the Department’s history! Join us in making our quest another success!
