Tonight is steak night. We have 65 ribeye steak dinners cooked by Stu Harvey tonight!

We have worked hard to fix the line problem we had last steak night--so come on down!

VFW Post 6796 commemorated Patriot Day on Wednesday September 11, 2024. Post Adjutant Ron Rogers delivered the speech and we also welcomed our special guests from Dallas Fire Department Station 31. Judge Advocate Clayton Hosterman delivered the prayer, and Trustee Kevin Thomas shared his memories of that day.






An All American dinner was served (donations only) with Commander Mark Clark providing the sloppy joe sandwiches and potato salad and Jr. Vice Commander Eddie Lara providing the key ingredient: tater tots.

In case you weren't able to attend, here is the text of Ron's speech:

Ron: Today, we gather with heavy hearts to remember the events of September 11, 2001, a day that forever changed our nation and the world. We honor the lives of the nearly 3,000 innocent men, women, and children who were tragically taken from us, and we stand in solidarity with the families who continue to bear the pain of their loss. We also recognize the courage and sacrifice of the first responders, firefighters, police officers, and countless heroes who risked and gave their lives to save others. Their bravery in the face of unimaginable terror reminds us of the resilience and strength that define us as a nation.

As we reflect on that dark day, we are reminded not only of the sorrow we felt but also of the unity and resolve that emerged in its aftermath. We came together as one people, committed to rebuilding, supporting one another, and defending the values of freedom, democracy, and peace. Let us honor the memory of those we lost by carrying forward that spirit of unity, by being there for each other in times of need, and by striving every day to create a world where such hatred and violence have no place. May we never forget the lessons of September 11, and may we continue to be guided by the principles of compassion, courage, and hope.

Post Chaplain Clay Hosterman, please lead us in a prayer:

Let us please observe a moment of silence to reflect on the courage and sacrifice of the first responders, firefighters, police officers, and countless heroes who risked and gave their lives to save others.
Thank you (recognize firefighters in attendance)
