THE ADJUTANT
GENERAL'S MESSAGE

MAJOR GENERAL GEORGE J, HEAR N

My Fellow Guardsmen :
The Georgia National Guard is embarking upon a statewide community servi ce program in 1970 that is designed to bring us closer to the people we serve in each hometown.
Purpose of this program is to instill in each National Guard unit a deeper sen se of civic responsibility to the community while cont i nuing faithfully to serve our citizens in our military role. By sponsori ng or conduct i ng some worthwhile project for the betterment of the community , we stimulate recognition of the National Guard and i ncrease the high regard our citizens already have for Guardsmen .
While so me commands regularly conduct some form of community relations p rog ram, it is my desire that every unit generate some acti vity that will enhance the value of National Guard service to the local townspeople.
We are citizen-soldiers, having close ties with local business and civic groups as well as our military status. Therefore it behooves each of us to take a more responsible attitude toward our fellow citizens and to lead the way toward helping each community to develop and progress.
Our hi story clearly shows that senior Guardsmen are invariably leaders in the community; therefore, younger Guardsmen are future leaders and hove a golden opportunity to direct their energies toward i mproving community life. In this way, we become citizensoldi ers in the finest sense of the word .
