Bucheit was the host for the first AUSA First Region Leaders Conference held at West Point.  Centered in the photo is a good friend to West Point and AUSA supporter NY State Senator Mike Martucci who formally welcomed us to Orange County.

Thank you to our FIRST Region President Sue DiVila and her team for such a well organized conference.  John Burkheit ensured that the event ran perfectly and in such impressive surroundings.   We were so fortunate.

We were very proud to be present and recognize with award and scholarship from AUSA , the exceptional cadet in our Region, to Cadet (LTC) Hertoff Moneus.  More to come.

“Thank You” in this Thanksgiving season to all our Members, Families and Community Supporters who made the achievement of these 19 awards for 2020 performance possible. This was all done during the worst of times where routine solutions were unavailable, so with agility and resilience you adjusted and used innovative ways to accomplish such a great result.
