MEMBER MONDAY, AUGUST 2, 2021
On Member Monday we highlight our members involved in their communities. Today we highlight William Gordon, an Air Force veteran and an active member of MN DAV Chapter 39. This year he was elected as the Chapter’s commander and chairman of the Leo Luskey 5th Annual Golf Tournament committee. Gordon has served twice as the Chapter’s junior vice commander. His support to veterans and their families is evidenced as a member of the DAV honor detail at cemetery committal services and participates in state and regional DAV conferences ensuring legislative support for veterans. During the DAV Centennial celebration in 2020, Gordon lived up to the organization’s challenge to conduct “100 Acts of Honor” as he volunteered at Chapter fund-raising events and during the winter months of 2019 and early 2020, presenting embroidered DAV blankets to veterans residing assisted living facilities throughout the Chapter’s five-plus county area.
