for
JUNE 2009
Home

Comrades and Legion Family as the month of June is upon us and the weather is nice, it brings us to outdoor activities.  Thanks to all who volunteered on a very successful Memorial Day weekend.  We had a lot going on.  Our ceremony went well and special thanks to Delegate Miller and Mayor Parrish.                                 

The Ride 2 Recovery [wounded warriors] really appreciated our hospitality with dinner and thanks to the Post 10 Riders for their escort service.                                                   

Our send off of Comrade Howard with a DVD “Journey of A Soldier” was well attended.  Best to you Howard and we look for your safe return.                                                        

May Elections:  I am proud to serve another term as your 2nd Vice Commander, it is an honor.  I cannot do all the events without you.  Your volunteering is what keeps us going and as the BEST Post.                                                    

June events: 6 June [1944]—D-Day, 14 June—Flag Day & the Army’s 234th Birthday—HOOAH!!, 21 June—Father’s Day, 25 June [1950] - Start of the Korean War.
