Message from 1st Vice Commander  

October 6, 2009

Trick or Treat is just around the corner…

Which means it’s time us to celebrate the harvest of life with caramel apples, pumpkins and squash!

A reminder that our October meeting will be initiation day for our new members. Come and support the continued growth of Post 416.

The Veterans Day Parade will be Sat. Nov. 7th. If you would like to be in the parade or ride in the parade, contact Ron Sullivan 414-281-5435 or me at 414-520-0538. There is still room in one of the vans as of now.

Under the “Did You Know” category, the American Legion is beginning to attract younger veterans. Active-duty members are eligible to join-and they are!! In fact, the American Legion has over 500,000 members who joined under the War on Terrorism, Persian Gulf, Lebanon/Grenada and Panama War periods. The American Legion created programs for active-duty, National Guard and Reserve, such as “TS2” Troop Support Services and “H2H” Heroes to Hometown as an opportunity for its membership to interact and support all our military.

So keep extending a hand to all the men and women who continue to serve and protect all of us living under the flag of freedom!


Still serving,

Bob Naffier 1st Vice Commander
