COMMANDER REPORT
Summer is retreating with autumn around the corner. I loved this time of year to celebrate the seasons like fall colors, hunting season , football season… In some areas, school has started as well. I ask all of us to be responsible and safe in the school zones. Keep your eyes for the kids and buses.
As we salute 250 years for our country’s independence, let’s celebrate our military and those who served and gave their lives for freedom and liberty, we cannot forget the ones who have not made home yet. You are not forgotten. According to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, more than 81,000 American service members remain missing and unaccounted for from past conflicts. About half of these missing individuals are presumed lost at sea. So on September 18th, we will have a ceremony at the Post to honor and remember the sacrifices of American service members who were prisoners of war (POWs) and those who are still missing in action (MIA). Please join us for this ceremony.
Monthly dinners are rolling along. They are open to our local communities we serve. So, invite a friend or neighbor to join us. Comrades, check out the calendar, come out and enjoy one of our dinners or to take a chance and play one of our raffles, drawings or gaming machines. Support your Post and our events. A big thanks to all at the post that make this happen.
We are looking for comrades to join our ranks. I encourage all to invite and recruit any qualified veteran to join. Any questions, please see our Membership Service Officer, Dane Glander or one of our officers.
Reminder for hunting season, Think before you pull the trigger. In the past, we have had some incidents of unsafe and illegal hunting. If you are caught without a permit; you could face the consequences of removal as a member and prosecuted. if you intend to hunt on the post, you must complete the permit form and gain permission to hunt by the Post Commander or the Hunting Committee Chair, Bud Perry. No exceptions.
Any questions or concerns about the Post, come to me and we will see what can be done.

CHAPLAINS REPORT
Greetings Everyone,
September often feels like a new beginning, a chance to reset and refocus our intentions. This is the time for those moments when you need to leave the past behind and step into a new season with a clean slate, trusting God to guide your steps forward with renewed purpose and clarity. It’s about embracing the opportunities for growth and change that this month brings, leaning on His strength. As the seasons change, so too can our spiritual lives deepen. For those who desire to grow closer to God, to understand His Word more profoundly, and to live a life that truly reflects His love and light. It’s about nurturing our inner selves and allowing God’s presence to transform us from the inside out.
October is a month of change, reflection, and preparation. As summer fades and autumn settles in, it is a season to assess the year’s journey, renew our faith, and seek God’s guidance for the months ahead. Life can feel overwhelming with responsibilities, uncertainties, and personal challenges, yet prayer provides a pathway to peace, clarity, and divine direction. By dedicating time to seek God’s presence daily, we open our hearts to His wisdom, protection, and blessings, inviting Him to lead our steps in every area of life. This month reminds us of God’s constant faithfulness and provision. Even as routines shift, we are called to trust Him fully, surrendering worries and embracing His plan. Prayer strengthens our spiritual foundation, nurtures resilience, and deepens our relationship with Him.
This time of year, allows us to express gratitude, seek forgiveness and ask for guidance, strength, and peace. The transitional nature is ideal for aligning our hearts with God, cultivating joy, and embracing spiritual growth.
May God bless you and strengthen you in your daily lives.
