We know there are lots of changes going on and new faces involved in our club. Our first priority is always to our veterans who have served to give us freedom and who built the club that we all enjoy today. We always welcome our new generation of veterans from current conflicts such as Afghanistan and our active and social members who support our club every day. We will continue to depend on those from the past to help us keep up the military traditions of the RHLI alive and to those of the future to help us create new military traditions. At the same time we welcome members of our community with no military affiliation because their business keeps us in business so that we all have a place to call our home ~ THE RHLI VETERANS ASSOCIATION ~
