Victory...

President Edwards (L) and Vice President Barrett congratulating 

Commanders Swift and Herlihy 

... we have victory in our battle against malaria! The power of Steds mullets could not be rebuffed, and the enemy is on the retreat. With the nets that will be purchased through donations, the enemy will cede more territory, and soon, malaria will have no place to hide. Suffice it to say, that day isn’t here, and so, our fight is not over, the war will continue. Indeed, the enemy will see our brave boys and their powerful mullets again! But for now, it’s back to headquarters for some r&r and a haircut.

While we thank those who gave their follicles for the fight, we must give thanks to all those from who joined us in the fight, monitoring our progress, buoying our spirits, making donations, all of which made this campaign a success. Whether or not we donned a mullet, today's victory is something that we can be proud of and celebrate. 

On the victory, Commander John Swift said, "It took a lot of blood, sweat, and shears, but we have come out victorious! Thank you to one and all who joined us in the fight. We couldn't have done it without you!"

Still yet, Commander Joe Herlihy added, "“It was a hard fought fight. Hair was lost, money was raised, and our goal was reached. The cause of malaria prevention has more money than it did three weeks ago, and we have the great Steds family and friends to thank for that. I am grateful, and it makes me proud to be where I am. Thank you!”
