Please let me introduce myself. I am Frank Alger, your new department Judge Advocate. I served on Active duty from 1981-2001. Once I retired I moved to Mesa, and was a member of the Saguaro Detachment 554 from June 2000 (my dad paid my first year membership while I was still on Active Duty) until December 2020 when I moved to Casa Grande, AZ, when I transferred to Casa Grande 901 Detachment.
Just to give everyone a little history I have been an Officer in the Department of AZ since the Fall Conference of 2002 when, then Department Commandant Frank Wienke, asked me to serve as the Dept Sgt-At-Arms.
Since that time I have served as Sgt-At-Arms 2002-2006, Historian 2002-2004, Assistant Chaplain 2003-2005, Chaplain 2005-2020, Department Adjutant 2021-2023, Young Marine Liaison 2005 to present, Scouting Liaison 2023-present, Webmaster 2021-present.
This is my first Elected Position and I am honored to have been elected to serve this great Department.
I have served that last 14 Commandants and plan on continuing my service to the State of AZ, the veterans of this State, and my community for many years to come.
