For each military ID presented, the guest will receive up to 4 complimentary tickets.

From the EANGUS Executive Director!

EANGUS Executive Council and State Presidents,

Yesterday we completed a 5-minute video regarding our work on the military technician furlough issue. We are about to send it out in a full e-blast to all members, but wanted to send it out to you first. This is a rare opportunity for us to directly engage a specific sector of our National Guard family. The credibility of our actions on this matter, and the urgency of it not being resolved yet, provides a strong catalyst for people to get involved and join.

I urge you to watch this streaming video, uploaded on our own YouTube channel, then forward it to military technician leaders in your state, and in individual units. Please add you your own thoughts and ideas on why it’s so important for them to join EANGUS and get involved today. And please provide any positive feedback you receive from those technicians. Right now, 161 people have viewed the video on YouTube. Let’s watch those numbers rise when we do a full blast later this morning.
