Commander Lonzie Jiimmerson
First and foremost, to my fellow comrades and their families THANK YOU for your service. I am appreciative, humbled and thankful to have been elected to fulfill this role for the next fiscal year. The VFW is rooted in the notion of veterans taking care of veterans. Over the years Post 2785 has served the greater Dougherty/Lee and surrounding counties well. To the front runners past and present who have gotten us to this point; we are forever grateful. As we enter a new season at VFW Post 2785 I would like us to remain mission focused on our community and those that reside within. I anticipate that you will see more of your local veterans out and about within the community we are looking to get involved and build partnerships and keep taking care of veterans. I am a product of the Lee County School System and for the first 18yrs of my life the greater Lee/Doughtery area was home. I bring to you a plethora of passion for this local community. Like so many other veterans in this area I have served my country for years and as I re-integrate with my hometown the desire to serve remains. I look forward to serving as your Commander and broadening the footprint of VFW Post 2785 Albany, GA
