To All Citizens of the American Legion New Mexico Boys’ State:
I am so proud to have had the opportunity to watch you all work through our program and embrace the lessons that we have given. It is those who understand the processes of government that have the greatest ability to affect change around them. By your efforts this week, you are now equipped to be the instrument of change, rather than simply dealing with the changes implemented by others.
I spoke to you of the four characteristics that are essential for political figures to be a positive force in their communities. Once again, I challenge each of you to embrace these characteristics as you move forward into your adult lives. Hope for a better future. Loyalty to those who have given their trust. Integrity to do the right thing even when it’s hard. Perseverance to push through when you want to give up.
Finally, I want to thank each of you for the time you gave to this program over the last week. It has been my privilege and honor to have watched you grow and begin your journey into the leaders that I know you all will be.
Kenneth R. Hart
President
The American Legion New Mexico Boys’ State
Boys’ Staters 2019
Congratulations on your completion of the 2019 Boys’ State program. Your enthusiastic participation in this year’s program made it a great success. The experience and friendships you have gained will be life-long. I hope and pray that the values of good citizenship and Americanism reinforced here will be of aid to you throughout your lives.
Remember: Honesty, Integrity and Responsibility are hallmarks of good citizenship. Get involved in your communities and state affairs and make a difference.
Remember: YOU are my inspiration!
Again, congratulations and good luck.
Ralph Kemp
Executive Director
The American Legion New Mexico Boys’ State

Gentleman,
It is a great honor and privilege to congratulate you for completing the 2019 Boys’ State program and placing your signature on a stellar session. As your director and NMBS Alumni, I welcome you to this elite group of American citizens who have successfully fulfilled their obligation to this program.
As an American, and a member of the Sons of the American Legion, it is comforting and reassuring to know that the future of this great land and freedom of democracy, is in such capable hands. If I can ever be of assistance in the future, do not hesitate to reach out, after all, we are all alumni now!
