Pearl Harbor Day
December/10/2024 12:04 PM Filed in: Post Events | Post Improvements
Pearl Harbor Day was commemorated by our Post on Saturday December 7, 2024. Post officers and members joined us in remembrance. Post Adjutant Ron Rogers delivered the speech and Post Judge Advocate Clayton Hosterman lead the prayer in memory of our lost comrades. We had over 30 members of the Post and Auxliary in attendance.
Today, we gather to remember a day that forever changed the course of history—December 7th, 1941. On this “date which will live in infamy,” brave men and women faced an unthinkable attack at Pearl Harbor. In the face of devastation, they demonstrated extraordinary courage, resilience, and sacrifice.
This solemn day reminds us of the cost of freedom and the unyielding spirit of those who stand to defend it. Let us honor the lives lost, the survivors who carried the burden of that day, and the generations that rose to rebuild and fight for a better future.
As we reflect on this chapter of history, may we recommit ourselves to preserving peace, supporting those who serve, and ensuring the sacrifices of the past are never forgotten. Today, we remember. Today, we honor. Today, we pledge to never forget.
Following the memorial we got back to work for our Post GI Party. Thanks to all who showed up and helped us clean up the Social Hall, Game Room and Storage shed.
The following day, Rene Morales and his family held a toy drive for Children's Hospital in honor of Baby Natalie. The back corner of our social hall is accessible again and already being put to great use-on Sunday this was Santa's corner. Rene and his granddaughter, Carissa!

Post GI Party
December/06/2024 10:46 AM Filed in: Post Improvements
Tomorrow morning we are having a GI Party at the Post starting at 10:00 am. We need volunteers to help clean our kitchen, remove broken items and clean out the Social Hall, hallways and storage unit. Our members have voted to remove unserviceable, unsightly and abandoned items and tomorrow we are going to get the job done!
Volunteers will receive two Good Soldier drinks and much appreciation. The Patio bar will be open from 1-4 pm and rumor has it that we will have specials on hand.
We guided the 30 yard dumpster into place this morning, so we are ready to roll, rain or shine!
