COMMANDER REPORT
Seasons have changed and we approach the crisp and cool end of the year and look forward to the new year. It is the time where we join our family and friends to celebrate and give thanks for all the freedoms and liberties that our comrades and former members have sacrificed. The debt owed to the defenders of this great nation is ever-present and important, we take this moment to keep alive the memories, sacrifices and accomplishments of our comrades & nation’s veterans.
I want to thank every Soldier, Sailor, Marine, Airman and Coast Guardsman for their service. And we ask all as Americans to say a prayer of thanks for those who are serving far away from family and friends during the holiday season. Our comrades deserve our lasting gratitude and respect. For generations, the men and women of our armed forces have demonstrated their willingness to put country before self; patriots who serve for the greater good and not seek glory or recognition or personal gain. On Nov. 11, Veterans Day, our nation honors the contributions of the nearly 22 million veterans living today, and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of liberty and justice.
During the holidays, I ask all of our members to be safe, celebrate responsibly, and enjoy your family at the post. Be sure to show your appreciation to our Canteen staff, Auxiliary members & volunteers that work so hard everyday to make the post better for its members. Send a Christmas card to the post and let them know.
Monthly dinners are doing well. They are open to our local communities we serve. So, invite a friend or neighbor to join us. 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. There are some fun events at the post this holiday season; so come and have some fun!!
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 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.

Dear Auxiliary Sisters & Brothers,
Thank you all that attended our 40th Auxiliary Anniversary Celebration! I believe everyone had a great time, enjoyed the wonderful meal prepared by our very own Dave & Tammy Monnin and Matt & Jessica Hunsbarger (thank you!), won great door prizes, watched the children jump in the bouncy house, and had fun playing music bingo! Save the date for our next event, the Children’s Christmas Party, Sunday, December 6. More information to come!
Please remember our Veterans November 11, 2026 and join us at the post for a ceremony at 6:00pm
Our weekend Dinners are well attended! Thank you for supporting our VFW! THANK YOU to all of the volunteers for your hours of support on a monthly basis - your volunteer work does not go unnoticed! If you would like to volunteer please reach out to Missy or Sharon! We can always use extra help to give our regular volunteers some time off. Check the website/calendar for dates and times for all meals.
Come join us for our monthly Auxiliary meetings, every second Thursday at 7:30pm. You are always welcome!
To any of our auxiliary sisters or brothers who are ill or have lost a loved one, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
My wish to each of you to have a Blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday and a prosperous New Year!
