I have been to many USW conferences and functions since I became involved with our great union.  I cant think of many that Richard Trumka wasnt there in support of the USW.  I have listened to many speakers and I have to say that people should tune in to listen to this man.  He speaks like we do and with passion.  He is a true leader and above all, a true supporter of labor.  For those who havent been as fortunate as I have, I urge you all to listen to what this man has to say.  I have to be honest here…...I didnt know that Trumka was a sportsman until I joined the USA.  I cant think of a better advocate for sportsmen.

On a separate note….....Hunting season is fast approaching and I want to wish all of my friends on here good luck this year and please be safe!  If youre like me, you have been out afield and know whats in your hunting area.  I have to say, I am really pumped for this season.  My dad seems to have new energy and he says he will be hunting with me again this year.  I will take it! He has been scouting with me a few times and we both know that there are some huge bucks kicking around.  What they have for headgear remains a mystery but I hope to be able to show you all.  My vacation isnt until 3rd week in November so Im holding out until then unless the big boy shows his face.  Hope to see many pics this year on here from my friends.  Take care, and again, be safe.

Mike,

I appreciate the kind words you shared about Mr. Trumka.  Don’t know how many members realize this but Mr. Trumka is the Chairman of the Board of the USA and he was the first member of the club.  If you have the opportunity to spend any time with him (and I have been fortunate to do so) you will know immediately that this man is a TRUE outdoor enthusiast (hunter, shooter and fisherman) and he knows his stuff like few people I’ve met.

If you haven’t already done so, please take a minute to check out the Public Service Announcement Mr. Trumka did on behalf of the USA and the American Worker and I hope you be as proud of your union leadership and of this organization as I am.

Happy Labor Day everyone and be safe!

Have not met Mr. Trumka, but when/if I do, I will greet him with a brotherly handshake.

Mike H,
I wish you and you Dad the best of luck this year! You guys really have some nice hunting up there!
