Board of Directors effective April 1, 2005. As a result of Admiral Kelly's

dedicated service on the Board of Directors and as President of Energetics,
Admiral Kelly has announced his retirement. On behalf of the directors,
officers, and employees of the company, I take this opportunity to thank
Admiral Kelly for his years of continuous service to VSE since 1995. His
experience and counsel have been held in high regard by me and by his fellow
directors. We wish him well in the years to come."

	"Jim Reed is a highly qualified successor to Admiral Kelly at
Energetics. Jim was a founder of Energetics in 1979, and after an absence from
2001 to 2004 to provide senior-level consulting services, rejoined Energetics
in 2005. We look forward to working closely with Jim in the months ahead."
