Convention delegates unanimously elected U. S. Army veteran Timothy J. Collmer of\u00a0Daniel Goho American Legion Post 87 in Dansville\u00a0to lead the Department of New York in 2023-2024. Commander Collmer has been serving as\u00a0dean of the American Legion College of New York\u00a0for a decade.\u00a0Commander\u00a0Collmer\u00a0designated the Department of New York Temporary Financial Assistance Program, Operation Comfort Warrior and Be the One as his special projects for 2023-2024.\u00a0Also, congratulations are in order for our Executive Committeeman Arvin Chin and Adjutant Gabe Mui, as they were elected 1<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0District Commander and 1<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0District Adjutant respectively at the district caucus during the convention. Adjutant Gabe Mui succeeded long serving District Adjutant Frank Gee and thank him for his dedicated services to the 1<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0District.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>As we all know, Be the One suicide-prevention initiative was the top priority when\u00a0New York\u2019s own\u00a0Vincent James &#8220;Jim&#8221; Troiola was elected National Commander one year ago in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. During his year as national commander of the American Legion, he has seen that the Be the One message is getting out there and that the formation of a new coalition with USAA\u2019s Face the Fight has created the opportunity to get the message out to an even broader audience. He said he is excited about the opportunity of leveraging the resources, talent and expertise of the corporations, VSOs philanthropists and researchers so that Face the Fight can achieve its aspirational goal of significant reduction in veteran suicide.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>The Legion\u2019s Patriot Award was presented to Chip Ganassi Racing by National Commander Troiola for its dedication in\u00a0promoting the values of The American Legion through a strategic partnership, which has resulted in new members and wide exposure of the nation\u2019s largest veterans organization to mass audiences. Most importantly, by raising awareness of The American Legion\u2019s Be the One initiative, Chip Ganassi Racing has elevated the discussion of veterans\u2019 suicide and has likely saved lives.\u00a0At the time of the national convention in Charlotte, Chip Ganassi\u2019s lead driver Alex Palou, who drove The American car which has featured a prominent Be the One logo on its hood in the INDYCAR series has built an insurmountable lead for winning the championship in the series.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>BE THE ONE, the Legion\u2019s suicide-prevention initiative continues to\u00a0be\u00a0the focus and priority of the coming year. Daniel J. Seehafer of Wisconsin was elected and sworn in as the new leader of the American Legion during the American Legion\u2019s 104th national convention in Charlotte North Carolina.\u00a0 In his acceptance speech he said Be the One was created for people who consider suicide, \u201cveterans with suicidal ideations\u2026\u3002 as we continue to invest our time and resources to de-stigmatize the act of getting help. It\u2019s ok to ask for help. It is ok not to be ok\u201d. He believes the number of daily veteran suicide figures released by the VA a couple of years ago of about 17 per day is undercounted; he pointed out that number doesn\u2019t include active-duty deaths.\u00a0 Also many veterans who died of drug overdoses were classified as accidents or unknown intent as the cause of death. He emphasized the only number he wants us to push is \u201cone\u201d, as in Be the One, one veteran, or their spouse, from taking his or her own life.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Addressing the 104<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0American Legion national convention, Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough told the audience with the Legion\u2019s support, we have delivered more benefits to the veterans than any time in our nation\u2019s history. He discussed the VA\u2019s advancements in improving the suicide rate, implementing the PACT Act and reducing the number of homeless. He also said that the VA expanded its work force by 18% while Veterans Health Administration has increased its work force by 5%. He also praised the work of the Legion, including its 3,000 accredited service officers and their devotion to helping veterans.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>It has been twenty-two\u00a0years since the unforgettably tragic day that took nearly 3,000 lives on September 11, 2001. Many continue to suffer and our Post will not let it be forgotten by continuing to host a candlelight remembrance at Kimlau Square to pay tribute to the thousands who perished and honor the heroes who bravely risked their lives to save others. Adjutant Gabe Mui conducted the remembrance in place of the long time master of ceremony of the 9\/11 event, Past\u00a0Commander Hon. Randall Eng\u00a0as was not able to attend due to COVID-19. The 9\/11 remembrance was attended by the Department of Family Leadership; Commander\u00a0Timothy J. Collmer; Auxiliary President\u00a0Karen D. St. Hilaire, Detachment Commander\u00a0Peter J. DeAngelis, New York State\u00a0Assembly-member\u00a0Grace Lee, New York City Councilman Christopher Marte, CCBA President Raymond Tsang, Lin Sing Association President Kenny Leung, Ning Yung Association President Kenny Ng\u00a0and many other city and state government officials.\u00a0All guest speakers spoke about their personal experiences and most of them still have lingering effects of this horrific
