Message from the National President.

Your response to the ASMC Victims' Relief Fund was outstanding. Your overall donations exceeded $40,000. On December 20, 2001, it was my privilege to sign letters to the families of sixteen deceased members and six injured members in the name of ASMC. In those letters I pointed out that our gift was assembled from our membership around the world, with the central theme that individual and national strength comes from unity and solidarity. We wanted all recipients to know that we stand with them during this time of bereavement and turmoil and that ASMC pledges continued prayers, best wishes, and support.

During this past holiday season I hope each of you had the opportunity to enjoy the company of loved ones and to reaffirm the values that make this country great.

God Bless America.
