I take this opportunity to recognize my colleagues in the WVA for the great contributions they have made to the global society this past year. Through the majestic array of great scientific knowledge, fine medical skills, and professional talents of the veterinary profession, you have helped the world to be spared animal and potential human plagues such as worldwide avian influenza and pandemic human influenza in 2006. You have individually and collectively contributed to significant improvement in the health and well being of animals, as well as humans throughout the world.
Congratulations, and keep up the outstanding work!
I wish each and every one of you warm seasonal greetings, and a healthy, happy and prosperous year 2007.
Leon Russell,
WVA President
