Overview of the REPI Program
The REPI Program is a key initiative by the DOD aimed at addressing encroachment and sustainment challenges faced by military installations. Encroachment refers to incompatible land uses and development near military bases, which can impede training and operational capabilities. The REPI Program works by forming collaborative partnerships with private conservation groups, state and local governments, and landowners to preserve critical natural habitats and buffer zones around military facilities.

Our soldiers have fought in many battles worldwide to protect our freedom. On Sept. 11, 2001, we were attacked on our own soil, something that we were not used to but when that attack came, the men & women in and around those 2 towers stepped into action, many were running into those buildings to save others while some inside gave their lives getting others out of the buildings. In the days to come, our country was devastated but we came together, standing united together, no matter our politics, we stood together as Americans ready to protect Americans of all races and origins. We will never forget what that unity is like. As Rotarians, let us continue to share the vision of unity as we serve our communities. -Mike Coplan President, Del Rio Rotary Club
