COMMANDER’S MESSAGE (Paul del Rosario)November 11 is Veterans Day and I know most of you are busy preparing for it. This is a good time to do buddy checks not only of our fellow veterans but also of their family. The holidays are upon us. Don’t forget to include the rest of your Legion family: Auxiliary Unit, SAL Squadron, Rider Chapters when you get together.
Continue to work on membership and checking on your members’ welfare. We encourage you to inform us of what your post is doing for its members and community for the coming months. I look forward to seeing you all and hearing of your post’s accomplishments and upcoming activities.
