Commander's Corner

Commander Todd Haviland

Comrades,

 
I am both honored and humbled you have faith in me to be your State Commander for 2025-2026. "All the Way” is my motto. It worked as a paratrooper, and I want to bring that attitude and enthusiasm to the Department and hit the ground running.
 
Membership, Community Service and Fundraising are my priorities. We need to hit 101% …Being in the community will help with recruitment.
 
We’re going to work together this year to make sure we are helping veterans, their families and the community.
 
Let’s make this a stellar year.
 
All the Way!!!
Todd Haviland State Commander 2025-2026
