She has served Montana with grace, diligence, a positive attitude and genuine care for the people of the Treasure State. During her 35 years of service, June has been secretary to the Senior Army Advisor, administrative assistant to The Adjutant General and next month will complete her career with the Montana Veterans Affairs Division. June demonstrated compassion and professionalism on a daily basis. Her ability to help a grieving family member navigate the challenges of veteran burial honors, or steer a distressed veteran in the right direction to attain benefits, is highly commendable. Her presence in the in the Montana Department of Military Affairs will be missed, but the mentorship she provided agency personnel over the years will ensure that her legacy endures. To her co-workers \u2013 June was regarded as their greatest advocate. When June retires, she plans to do what she has always done, continue to take good care of others. At age 83, June\u2019s example is inspiring. Her work ethic, compassion and commitment to excellence represent the best of Montana values. Thank you, June, for your service. I wish you the best in retirement, and appreciate all you have done for our state. When June retires, she plans to do what she has always done, continue to take good care of others.
