1 WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND THE BEST WISHES TO ALL MEMBERS OF POST #367 FOR THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY SEASON.

DON'T FORGET OUR ANNUAL DANCE ON DECEMBER 7 TH . A HOLIDAY DINNER WITH LIVE ENTERTAINMENT FOR DANCING AND YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE. TICKETS ARE $25 FOR SINGLE, AND $40 FOR A COUPLE. EACH TICKET INCLUDES TWO DRINKS.

EVERY NOVEMBER, I TAKE A TRIP DOWN TO THE LOCAL OFFICE SUPPLY STORE AND PURCHASE A CALENDAR REFILL FOR THE NEW YEAR, AND PLACE IT IN MY DAY RUNNER

AS I WAS PLACING THE PAGES INTO THIS BOOK, I GLANCED AT THE HOLIDAYS FOR NEXT YEAR, AND TICKED OFF THE HOLIDAYS ONE BY ONE. AT THAT TIME I REALIZED THAT IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE SACRIFICES OF THE AMERICAN VETERAN WHICH WE OUTWARDLY DISPLAY WITH DEEP EMOTION AND TRIBUTE ON MEMORIAL DAY AND VETERAN'S DAY, ALL OF THE REST OF THE HOLIDAYS WOULD BE JUST ANOTHER DAY, JUST ANOTHER TWENTY FOUR HOUR SPAN OF TIME.

MY AMERICAN HISTORY TEACHER IN HIGH SCHOOL SAID "THAT WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FREEDOMS FOR GRANTED, SOMEONE WILL TRY AND TAKE THEM AWAY FROM YOU."

DON'T BE INDIFFERENT, PLEDGE YOURSELF TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, NOT ONLY FOR YOUR FAMILY, BUT FOR YOUR COMMUNITY, SUPPORT YOUR AMERICAN LEGION POST, IT IS BETTER TO GIVE THAN RECEIVE.

IT IS VERY GOOD TO SEE NEW FACES AT OUR TWO MONTHLY MEETINGS ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAVE SO MANY NEW FAMILIES MOVING INTO OUR AREA. AS POST CHAPLAIN IT IS MY DUTY TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH ANY VETERAN WHO MAY BE HAVING HEALTH PROBLEMS AND WOULD APPRECIATE A VISIT TO TALK A BIT ABOUT HOW WE MAY BE OF ASSISTANCE. IF YOU HAVEN'T YET VISITED OUR LOCAL VA HOSPITAL AND SIGNED UP FOR HEALTH CARE I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DISCUSS THIS WITH YOU AS WELL. IF YOUR ARE A RECENTLY DISCHARGED VETERAN YOU ARE ENTITLED TO TWO YEARS OF HEALTH CARE AND TREATMENT FOR ANY ILLNESS YOU MAY HAVE CONTRACTED WHILE ON ACTIVE DUTY. CONTINUING CARE BEYOND THE TWO YEAR PERIOD DEPENDS UPON EVALUATION OF YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.

THE POST CHAPLAIN HAS MANY DUTIES AND ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS CALL ME TO LEARN IF I CAN BE OF ASSISTANCE. I WORK TOGETHER WITH OUR CLUB SERVICE OFFICER TO HELP YOU IN ANY WAY WE CAN. PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL AT 795-4854.
