Text Box: Fellow Sword members, It is with great humbleness that I accept the position of Most Honorable Grand Commander in Chief of this great organization. As I accept this honor I do so with great enthusiasm and foresight, believing we can make our Order stronger, larger and better with everyone's effort. We can better represent what our forefathers did in defending the rights and freedom we all enjoy today and the sacrifices they must have endured. Please be assured that we will do everything within our control to represent you in a way that will be pleasing and honorable to our teachings and our Order. Any ideas or suggestions you may want to share with me, please email, write or fax. I look forward to meeting all of you as time permits. Fraternally, Bob L. Bonds M.H.G.C.C. 2153 Brenner Ct.
