Danielle Duffaut

Danielle Duffaut, candidate for Sergeant at Arms

Danielle Duffaut grew up in Los Alamitos, California. Her eligibility was established when she joined the California Army National Guard at the age of 23 and was assigned to various duty stations during her 20 year career in Southern California on active duty as an Active Guard Reserve Soldier. Danielle retired from the military at the rank of Sergeant First Class (E7) in May of 2007.

After her discharge she joined Hollywood Post 43, but looked for a Post where she could display her leadership skills. She was referred to Los Angeles Post 8 which was on suspension. With help she was able to turn the Post around.

Danielle is from Los Angeles Post 8 which is the charter tenant of Patriot Hall and one of the oldest Posts in the Legion in District 17, Area 4. She has been a Post Adjutant, and Post Commander as well as District Chaplain, District Adjutant, Vice Commander, and Commander of District 17. Danielle is currently on the Executive Board at the District level. She has served as the Los Angeles County Council Chaplain, Vice Commander for Women and Vice Commander and on the Executive Committee and as Commander. 

Danielle has volunteered to be an Assistant Sergeant At Arms for the National Convention for the last six years and she has volunteered to be an Assistant Sergeant At Arms for Department for the last five years which includes The State Convention and DEC’s.

 She has also been endorsed by the Committee to Elect, her Post, District 17, various Past Department Sergeant At Arms, and numerous Department Commanders.

An election to this position would place her as the second female to be the Department Sergeant At Arms in California’s history. I am asking for your support and your vote at the upcoming Department Convention in Visalia. 

Thank You
