 Hello, everyone. This is D.V. National Commander Butch Wedded. I'm joined here today by Department of Wisconsin's Commander Matt Kepin and Benefits Protection Team Leader Al Lebel, presenting you with D.V.'s Outstanding Performance and Advocacy, or OPA Award for 2019-2020 for Division III. And Al is being recognized as a top performing benefits protection team leader. It's hard to beat the reputation of Wisconsin. You really are on the mark there from your work directly with lawmakers to Al and your numerous testimonies before the Wisconsin State Senate and meeting with the Governor of Wisconsin on veterans issues in 2020, as well as regular social engagement and virtual advocacy efforts to ensure the message is reaching far and wide. On behalf of DAV, I want to extend my congratulations to you both and give you a chance to say a few words. We'll start with Matt. Thanks for your leadership and continue work. What does this mean to you? Thank you, Commander. First, on behalf of the Department of Wisconsin, I proudly accept the 2019-2020 Division III OPA Award. I want to thank our members, DAV National, and most of all, Al Lebel. I have to say this means a lot to us because Al Lebel has gone above and beyond making sure the membership is informed on all legislative issues. He makes sure that we're all informed and are able to vote accordingly and timely matter. I don't know anyone more dedicated and more deserving for this award than Al Lebel. Thank you. Wonderful. Thank you, Matt. And Al, this isn't your first recognition for advocacy work. Tell me what you would say your proudest accomplishment has been. Commander, to answer your question, I'd say the proudest achievement that we as a department have made is the passage of advanced appropriations. We were heavily involved in the negotiations with DAV National and also with Congressman Obie, who at that time was Appropriation Chairman. And that would be, I'd think on my Mont Rushmore of achievements. So anyways, Commander, it is an honor to accept the BP-Tail Award on behalf of Team DAV Wisconsin for it is our members and supporters who make our advocacy efforts work. I wish to thank the DAV National Legislative Staff for their input and guidance, which has made our efforts more effective. Thank you, Commander, for this prestigious award. Excellent. Well done to the entire department and everyone who has been involved in advocating for veterans both there in Wisconsin and across the entire nation. Congratulations again to you both and keep up the great work.
