"We Stand on the Shoulders of Giants"

That expression dates back nearly 1,000 years and attempts to give credit to those that have gone before us. Just as NSA members stand on the shoulders of Cavett Robert, GLAC members stand on the shoulders of our past presidents.

Thank you for your great service over the years!
