Welcome Change to Fort Lewis & Air Base McChord - Now Joint Base Lewis-McChord

I just wanted to write a quick Thank You blog to the wonderful local service personnel of Pierce County Washington, many of whom have been gracious enough to allow me to serve them in procuring a VA Home Loan. For many decades, the greater Tacoma, and Pierce County area have had the honor of hosting 2 of the finest military installations in the United States: the Army base at Fort Lewis, and the Air Force's Air Base McChord. We have know for quite some time that these two installations were to be combined into one Joint, or Super Base, and that day has finally arrived.

"We've served side-by-side with the Air Force around the world -- and now we are going to live and work together at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. In the process, we're going to become more efficient and effective. We absolutely think that the sum is going to be greater than the parts" - Col. Thomas Brittain garrison commander of what was formerly known as Fort Lewis.

I have had the pleasure of serving many of the men & women from both Fort Lewis, and Air Base McChord in approving their VA Loans as they buy homes in Tacoma, Puyallup, Lacey, Olympia, Dupont, Yelm, Roy, and all the cities throughout Western Washington. I look forward to the opportunity to provide this service to another generation of heroes continuing their role defending America.
