Yesterday I was graciously presented with a plaque by the National Capital Area's Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) for serving as the Honorary Chairperson for the third consecutive year.
While I appreciate the sentiment, it is really all of you contributors who deserve the accolades. Despite these challenging economic times you selflessly demonstrated your concern for the welfare of others by donating a record amount. This year, NCA Federal Employees gave more than $62 MILLION dollars to the CFC.
Equally impressive were the results of our Guardians here in the capital region. The Coast Guard's 2008 campaign resulted in donations of $750,000, $230,000 over the goal. The Coast Guard's organizing team was recognized with personal awards for the core members and a Meritorious Team Commendation for the entire group
Thanks to those of you throughout the Service that give to CFC, support our Coast Guard Mutual Assistance, and participate in the Savings Bond program
