2009 MPMA QUEEN

Ms. Lynette M. Clifton

It is truly an honor to have run for and ultimately being crowned the Montford Point Marine Association’s National Queen for 2009-2010. It is a privilege to be able to give back to the community. I am proud to assist young adults in their quest for higher educational dreams by helping the Association raise funds for scholarships.

This organization holds family history for me. I stand in the shadow of one of my heroes, my grandfather, President Emeritus Chapter 10, MGySgt. Willie Michael Woods USMC who served from 1943-1974. His dedication to the Marine Corps and his belief in the accomplishments of Montford Point Marine Association lead me to become a member of this great veterans organization and do all that I can to support its efforts.
