Kids And War

DonaldJ. Shenck

Johnny was 8 years old, when his father went to war
He really didn't understand, what we were fighting for
But he was brave and so very proud, as he took his father's hand
He said, "Dad, I'll be just like you, when I become a man."
The father fell in a German town near the river Rhine
And he left that sad, lonely boy and pretty wife behind
But somehow they made it through the years, then Johnny was a man
But now there was another war, that put a gun in Johnny's hand
Like the father, John was brave and he did what he had to do
And he came through that ugly, evil war, to start his life anew
And so it's been down through the years, and the saga will repeat
Another child, another war, the marching of the feet
Some will live and some will die, some just fade away
And only God can change the plot, on that final judgement day

HELLO FELLOW LEGIONARIES

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE, THIS GREETING HAS TAKEN A LONG TIME IN COMING.

COMMANDER GOVIER AND HIS BOARD SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED FOR THE FINE JOB LAST YEAR, THANK YOU BOB.

AS FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR POST:

I HAVE ALWAY THOUGHT AN HONOR GUARD FOR OUR SPECIAL FUNCTIONS WOULD EXEMPLIFY THE TRUEST WAY TO HONOR OUR FALLEN VETERANS. IN AN EXTREMELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME CHUCK AND TAMMY ACRE NOT ONLY ORGANIZED THE HONOR GUARD, BUT WITH THE HELP OF THE VOLUNTEERS, MADE THIS PAST VETERANS DAY CEREMONY ONE THAT WILL SET A PRECEDENT FOR THE FUTURE. SPECIAL THANKS TO LT. COL. THOMAS KATANA U.S. ARMY RET. FOR HIS INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH. APPROXIMATELY 70 PEOPLE ATTENDED THE MEMORIAL SERVICE AT THE POST.

THERE IS ALOT OF WORK TO BE DONE, AND VERY BIG SHOES TO FILL.

BUT I PROMISE TO DO THE BEST I CAN DO TO CONTINUE THE GROWTH AND COMMITMENT TO VETERANS OF "THE LITTLE LEGION WITH A BIG HEART"

FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS: A HAPPY AND SAFE HOLIDAY SEASON AND VERY PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.

DAVE BEHELER

TO ALL HOME ASSOCIATION MEMEBERS:

IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I HAVE WRITTEN YOU, THIS SHOULD BE IN BOOK FORM. NOT A BEST SELLER, BUT ALOT OF PAGES. SO I'LL TRY TO KEEP IT SHORT.

THE PICNIC IN AUGUST WAS THE LARGEST TO DATE WITH 275 TICKETS SOLD. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR KITCHEN, BAR, AND WAIT STAFF FOR A GREAT JOB. BUT WITHOUT VOLUNTEERS LIKE JIM AND JUDY GUBERMAN, TIM WEVODOE AND MANY OTHERS WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT RIGHT. THE INDOOR PICNICS ON JULY 4TH AND MEMORIAL DAY WAS THE ABSOLUTE LARGEST TURNOUT FOR A FUNCTION IN THE HISTORY OF POST 730.

I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE NOTICED MANY NEW FACES IN OUR KITCHEN STAFF. FOR THE MOST PART, THE KITCHEN STAFF IN AUGUST AND THE STAFF THAT DID THE FINE JOB ON VETERANS DAY IS VERY DIFFERENT. FOR VARIOUS REASONS IT WAS NECESSARY TO REPLACE SOME VERY KEY PERSONNEL. IT IS MY HONEST OPINION THAT THE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE WILL BENEFIT THE POST AND THE PEOPLE IN PLACE NOW WILL BECOME AN EVEN GREATER ASSET IN THE FUTURE.

PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY SUGGESTIONS OR COMPLAINTS. AS ALWAYS -- WE ARE HERE TO SERVE YOU.

FROM THE BOARD AND STAFF OF THE HOME ASSOCIATION: WISHING YOU AND YOURS A VERY SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.

DAVE BEHELER

 Veteran's Day 2007

After a few years of trying, our Post finally has our own Firing Party for Post ceremonies.  We'd like to thank these members for stepping up and becoming members of the team.  Immediately upon her swearing in this year, our Jr. Vice Commander, Tammy Acre,  was determined to make this happen for the Post and has done so with the help of these volunteers.  

The Firing Party fired their 1st salute at the Post Veteran's Day ceremony 

11-11-07

We can still use additional members to join the Firing Party to make sure we always have enough people available for ceremonies.  Contact Tammy if you are interested in joining. All Active, SAL and Auxiliary members are eligible.
