LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

This is my final Letter as President of the FAO Association. It is been a privilege to serve the FAO Community for the past year. I wish this Association, our Members, and indeed the entire Foreign Area Officer community a most successful future. It is no overstatement to say that our Nation's security depends in part on how well we harness the energy and expertise of our Foreign Area Officer corps in the Nation's service.

In January 2005, I will begin my next assignment as Deputy United States Military Representative to the NATO Military Committee in Brussels, Belgium. It will always be a pleasure to welcome any of our FAO community to NATO Headquarters (and especially good to receive your professional advice on the political-military issues affecting our Alliance).

For those FAOs, Active, Reserve, or Retired, serving in harm's way throughout the globe, may God bless you and your families!
