I am pleased to spotlight Commander William Richmond for exemplifying the volunteer spirit by dedicating more than 3,000 volunteer hours as a member of the Annandale Volunteer Fire Department during the past four years.
He contributed in multiple ways, including serving as a volunteer firefighter, fundraising, and conducting community outreach.
This incredible achievement represents years of unwavering commitment, ensuring the safety and well-being of his community. CDR Richmond’s selflessness, passion, and incredible generosity are deeply valued by and made a profound impact on his community.
Commander, you are a true inspiration, Bravo Zulu! I also wish you fair winds and following seas in your retirement.
