Okaloosa County BOCC — March 17, 2015 — RE Display in the VPS Terminal

To: Okaloosa County Administrator John Hofstad The Air Commando Association (an IRS not for profit Veterans 501c(19) and 501c(3) organization) is requesting permission to organize a survey team representing the major military commands in Okaloosa County to include the AF Special Operations Command, 7 SFG(Abn), EOD School, 919 SOW and all other units at Eglin AFB. The purpose of this team would be to recommend an up-to-date display inside the VPS Terminal showing the enormous importance of our military stationed here and the concentration of veterans past and present in Okaloosa County. It is requested that this subject be placed on the BOCC agenda for the 0830, 17 March 2015 meeting. This is not a request for funding since we expect private funds to be used. Once the survey is accomplished and a detailed plan finished, it will be submitted to the Airport Director or such other authority as required by the Board of County Commissioners. The intention of this initiative is to display the importance and concentration of the U.S. military here in Okaloosa for all to see--both visitors and residents. The undersigned will be at the meeting to answer questions. Respectfully, R.V.
