MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT TOM BRADSHAW
President Message: Our Association SGT-AT-ARMS Bill Lewis has made a decision to retire this year. He has performed his duties with great distinction for the past 20 years, planning color guards, Navy & Marine Corps hymns, Bagpipers, Bell ringing, wreath and flower arrangements for our banquets, memorial services and any other special occasion events that required his expertise. It will be a tough job in finding someone to take his place but we are actively searching. If anyone is interested or know of someone, please contact me bb64bt1retired@aol.com . 

 

Thanks,

 

Thomas G. Bradshaw
President / USS Wisconsin Association
