Commander’s Comments:
Greeting Comrades! Fall has come and gone with winter close behind to go from mowing to raking to shoveling.
With Veterans Day on November 11th, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have given so much for our freedom. Proudly fly our flag and honor those have served and who were in harm’s way. There will be a ceremony at the Post on Veterans Day.
Holidays are just around the corner and I ask all of you to take a few minutes to think of or write & send a card to our comrades that not able to join us at the post. Let them know we have not forgotten them. Celebrate the holidays with some responsibility and be safe.
We invite all members to 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. There will be holiday fun for all. Check out the drink specials every month. Come out and support the Post with their events.
REMINDER – Hunting season is open. If you wish to hunt on the Post property; you have to get a permit to do so. Please see Bud Perry or myself to get approval and your permit. Any questions or concerns about the Post, come to me.

CHAPLAINS REPORT
Greetings Everyone,
I would like to thank the family and friends who came to the post for the Celebration of Life ceremony for our dearly departed comrade Gail Cross in October. In doing so we were able to pass along our personal memories of Gail to others. And to keep his memory alive going forward.
I would also like to thank those of you who came to Vet Fest ’25 at the Miami Fairgrounds. I will have good memories of our discussions. I hope to see you again at the post in the future. I met many vets who were already members of the other posts in the area. Some of these were interested in transferring to our post. I also spoke with others who were not VFW members and were interested in joining our post. I hope to see these individuals in the future as members of our post.
November, with its focus on giving, encourages us to be generous. As laid out in Corinthians 9:11 - “You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.”
This verse teaches that as we are blessed, and we are also called to share those blessings with others, which in turn brings glory and thanksgiving to God.
This time of year, is a time of thankfulness, introspection, and faith in God’s unwavering faithfulness. And serves as a reminder that God is the source of all blessings, from praising His daily mercies to depending on His strength and calm. We may be grateful for His provision as the year draws to a close and look forward to the future with optimism.
May God Bless you every day.
