Bill's inspirational leadership will sorely be missed at American Legion's Bob Brown Post 16 in Murfreesboro TN. During his relative short tenure as our Commander, he has resurrected Post 16 through his selfless and tireless leadership, recruiting new members and inspiring both newer and older members to enjoin in sharing his vision to bring it to ever higher levels of service to the community in concordance with the American Legion legacy. God bless and be with you Bill in your new and final venture. Condolences and may God be with his family during this trying time.
