Comrades,
Greetings from the 8th District! My name is Jon Clinton. I served in the United States Navy with fighter squadron VF-143 World Famous Pukin Dogs and I am a veteran of Operation Desert Storm. I am a member of George
& Mark Klobuchar Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4456 in Gilbert, MN. Myself along with all the officers of the 8th District and Auxiliary hope to have a wonderful year and continue to improve and make our district stronger. My goals this year are to continue to support the members of our great organization through our programs and service to our communities. Serving and supporting the men, women, and families of those in our armed forces is also an important goal. These goals all start with the basics of service to our current members and helping our organization grow by recruiting new members. I call on each and every member in our district to take the time to support your post and community in any way you can. Whether it be by helping at a membership dinner or just checking in on your fellow members and neighbors, each of us can help our posts, district, and most importantly, our communities become stronger. I am proud to be the company of those who make the Veterans of Foreign Wars the greatest veterans organization in the world.
Jonathan Clinton
Commander 8th District
