NA-YGN Announcements:
From the President: I could not send out this announcement today without taking a moment to reflect on the tragedies that occurred 8 years ago. On the anniversary of the tragic events of September 11th, my thoughts and prayers go to the victims, their families, and all those who sacrifice to defend freedom throughout the world. We are forever in your debt.
