A Message from Mike Graff,
President of the 14th Infantry Regiment Association

Golden Dragons,
      I consider it a great honor to have been elected to serve as president of the 14th Infantry chapter of the 25th Infantry Division Association.  I'm looking forward to supporting our division association by helping this membership grow, and in doing so, our chapter will grow.
     We all need to wear our division in chapter colors as often as possible.  When you come in contact with a Golden Dragon, be prepared to give them a division membership form like the one in Flashes.  Carry a form with you at all times.  By increasing the division membership, the 14th Infantry chapter should also grow.  Also, remember the division reunion in Hawaii in 2021.  This is a great recruiting tool.  It is everyone's duty to recruit.  At our chapter meeting of 9/11/19, we agreed that we need to recruit younger members.  This is something we all must try to do.  I encourage each member to visit veteran's organizations such as the VFW, American Legion, the DAV, and AMVETS, and recruit.  Use any means you can think of to get Golden Dragons together. 
     I'm still considering trying to organize one or more mid-year 14th Infantry Regiment reunions or gatherings, hopefully in April, 2020, and at a Central US location.  It may take a couple of get-togethers at different times and places.  We also agreed at that meeting that all Golden Dragons are welcome regardless of the division they were in or are currently a part of.  Remember, this will be a 14th Infantry function and not a 25th Infantry Division sponsored event, so we'll have to fend for ourselves.
     I am not good at e-mails . . . I do text a little, but I do know how to dial my flip phone.  I prefer verbal communications, so call me at 1-803-917-0990 and let's talk.

Respectfully,
Mike Graff, President
