The Fort Lewis Chapter will be hosting the 2008 Sixth Region annual meeting during the period 24-26 July. The climax of the Sixth Region is the presentation of awards to recognize individual, team, unit and organizational achievement, and other contributions with impact beyond that normally expected. Special emphasis should be given to recognize Fort Lewis based individuals, teams, and units for the war on terrorism. If you want more information about the event or the awards to be presented please download the attached document "AUSA SIXTH REGION AWARDS NOMINATION FORM.doc".
In 2007, the Fort Lewis Chapter of the Association of the United States Army participated and coordinated several events that supported the morale and welfare of America’s Armed Forces. Through AUSA’s partnership with Support America’s Armed Forces™, hundreds of care packages were sent to deployed military personnel and dozens of boxes of food were given to the Fort Lewis Family Resource Center, and over $12,000 was donated to the Warrior Transition Battalion to purchase laptops.
