 Hi, everyone. I'm DAV National Legislative Director Joy Elam. While DAV's legislative team in Washington has the privilege of advocating on behalf of our nation's Service Disabled Veterans and representing our membership before Congress, our real strength lies in the grassroots efforts and advocacy carried out by DAV department and chapter members and our benefits protection team leaders. Grassroots advocacy is a critical component of DAV's success and achieving legislative victories for our nation's ill and injured veterans, their families, and survivors. And some of our most dedicated advocates serve on DAV's Interim Legislative Committee. They guide us and help us leave the charge and spreading the word about our legislative priorities on Capitol Hill and are an inspiration to all of us. So it's only fitting to recognize DAV Interim Legislative Committee members for 2020-2021 and thank them for their hard work and advocacy efforts in support of DAV's legislative program and protecting the benefits and veterans have earned through their service and sacrifice. On behalf of DAV leadership and the entire legislative team, I give special thanks to DAV Interim Legislative Committee Chairman Al Lebel, Department of Wisconsin, Jim Precuna from the Department of North Carolina, Trent Dilks, Department of Minnesota, and Colman Mead from the Department of Massachusetts. Another group of veterans advocates that deserve special recognition are our top performing departments and department benefit protection team leaders in each of DAV's five membership divisions. I'm happy to recognize these top performers and congratulate the winners and this year's outstanding performance and advocacy award. For division one, Department of Virginia, Benefits Protection Team Leader Tom Wendell. Division two, Department of South Carolina, Benefits Protection Team Leader Brian Wilner. Division three, Department of Wisconsin, Benefits Protection Team Leader Al Lebel. Division four, Department of Nebraska, Benefits Protection Team Leader Jim Shuey. Division five, Department of Utah, Benefits Protection Team Leader Steven Presswich. Congratulations to each one of you and thank you for your commitment and dedication to our noble mission and for your outstanding advocacy on behalf of our nation's service disabled veterans. Here we also recognize a few select members of Congress and their staff who have supported DAV's legislative priorities and contributed to enacting legislation to improve the lives of ill and injured veterans, and a federal executive who is committed to improving programs and services for the veterans they serve. I'm pleased to announce DAV's selections for a 2021 Congressional and Federal Advocacy Awards. Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia and member of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee was selected as DAV's outstanding Senate legislator of the year. Ranking member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, Representative Mike Boss from Illinois, was selected as DAV's outstanding House legislator of the year. And Cheryl Mason, Chair of the Board of Veterans Appeals, was selected to receive DAV's outstanding federal executive year award for 2021. I congratulate and thank all of these veterans champions and look forward to continuing our partnership to ensure that the promises made to those who serve are kept. We wanted to make sure this year's winners know how much we appreciate their efforts. And while we generally provide these awards in person, because of the pandemic, we had to get creative this year. So I hope you enjoy watching the short videos for each of the DAV 2021, 2021 Advocacy Award presentations. Thank you.
