Amani Peterson, a Marine on active duty has received one of our boxes. She and her sister, Emani, another Marine, are both serving their country proudly and doing well. Chris Clarke, an Army private at basic training, is also getting some love. Or whatever remains after the drill sergeants pick through it!

If you have not received the email from our Senior Vice Commander, please read this: Dear Brother Post members, Please respond to this email. It is MOST IMPORTANT that we know who will be attending our Post Christmas Party on Saturday, 2 December at 1900 hours held at our post. We do not want to over order food and supplies as well as being put in a position of not having enough. Please respond back to me WHETHER OR NOT you are attending and if you are bringing another person.... Guys, please...everybody respond! Also, in an effort to raise the remaining funds to cover the cost of the party, there will be a 50/50 raffle and door prizes offered. So please bring funds to participate and help support the post. Remember, because the Christmas Party is on a Saturday this year--we will still have our regular meeting on Thursday, 7 December at 1900 hours. Lastly, thank you to all who were able to give of your time to help with our Poppy/Flag detail over the Veterans Day weekend. See everyone at the Christmas Party. Airborne! Chuck

This Friday, Veterans Scholarships still available.
