Maj. Gen. Stephen L. Danner Elected Chairman

The head of the Missouri National Guard is now the leader of the nation’s oldest military service organization.

Maj. Gen. Stephen L. Danner, the Missouri adjutant general, was elected chairman of the board of NGAUS at the organization’s 134th General Conference and Exhibition in Reno, Nev.

“My goals are simple: Maintain the momentum,” Danner said. “This is critical not only for the readiness and quality of life of Guardsmen across the country, but for the nation as a whole.

“The National Guard is the solution to the problem of maintaining a strong national defense in these difficult fiscal times, but only if our formations continue to be modernized and our family members and employers receive the support they need.”
