From our Vice President, Rich Pennington:

To ACA membership: Talked with retired MSgt Dave Crute over the weekend about his recovery from cancer surgery and chemo treatments. He’s in very good spirits and thinks in a few more weeks he’ll be back ready for action. Dave retired out of Langley some years ago and stayed in the Hampton Roads area where he has a auto repair shop that him and his son run to serve the local community.

He has a daughter that’s serving aboard the USN George Bush aircraft carrier. The Navy had a family day aboard the carrier and sailed out to open waters for the day a few weeks ago and Dave was able to go out and enjoyed the day.

Dave is a veteran of Vietnam and I had the pleasure of serving with him in the 80’s at Davis Monthan and Langley. Dave always did his best to take care of the troops.

I’m sure he would appreciate a card from old friends and the Ammo community.
