Dan, you will be missed by many but will live on in our memories. I appreciate all that you did for the AMVETS and especially for Post 5.

My good friend and Commander of AMVET Post 5....the Lord has a mansion with many rooms....there you shall rest and know what peace, happiness and eternal love is all about

Longest serving Commander for AMVETS Post 05 and a dear a friend to all who served under him.  A quiet leader who never spoke negative of anyone.  Whenever Post 5 needed repairs, Don would never hesitate to lend a hand. Certainly a star has gone dim and certainly a humble veteran, friend and man left this world too soon.  I will truly miss our conversations.  Walk around in Heaven and enjoy peace, happiness and above eternal love.....God Bless my friend...we will see each other again some day.....Amen. -AMVETS State Chaplain Larry Williams

Commander Donald Downning, You served our country and you served the state of Arizona and the city of Phoenix for years as an AMVET and the Commander of Post 5. Thank you for your service may you rest in peace.
Amvets Department Commander Rick Young 

I know you and mom are happy to be together again. I love you
