Happy New Year!! A little late but it took a little time to re-design all the pages to this website. Hopefully it will be a lot better for you to get around and easier to update. There are more changes in store, mostly cosmetic and functional but all the pages are useable. If you'd like to see something different or have any comments on the design, let me know.

We had the children's Christmas party today and what a turnout. We had a packed house and everyone had a good time. There was cookie decorating, picture coloring (pictures will be sent to our troops overseas) and Santa's work shop with an elf, and a Magician entertained everyone. Even Santa Claus and Ms. Claus showed up to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and the kids could have their pictures taken with them. All the children received a present and were fed. Everyone had smiles when they left and that's always a good thing.
On a different note, you've probably notice the threat advisory notification has changed. That's because the NTAS (National Terrorism Advisory System) replaces the color coded HSAS (Homeland Security Advisory System). I used to have to check the HSAS for changes in the color codes but now I've linked to the NTAS and if there are any changes, the notification will automatically update and you will instantly be informed. Click on the link and learn more.

Today marks the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Today is a day of honoring not only the 1,177 victims of the Japanese attacks, but all of those who bravely served in World War II. If you know a Veteran who served during WWII, thank them for their service. And if you are a Veteran, thank you for your service.

It looks like there hasn't been an update for awhile, however, there were updates done in the background and on other pages. I didn't have much time to update any comments on this page. The Post has been alive with a lot of events happening this fall with lots of delicious meals being served, a band playing every week and recently the Marine Corps Birthday Ball took place. The weather has been decent enough to allow people to get out and enjoy all the events and camaraderie at the Post. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving meal and enjoyed it with their family and friends. And I hope everyone remembered, and are thankful for, all the Soldiers protecting your freedoms who were unable to enjoy Thanksgiving with their loved ones at home. May God bless and protect our Veterans and families serving overseas and away from home.

Fall is in the air and the temperature is dropping like the leaves from the trees. Soon, if you haven't done so already, it will be time to winterize your home to keep the cold weather out. We've already started to do that at the Post home with construction underway to build a shelter for our back door. In the winter, there has always been a draft coming in from that back door. With this shelter, it should cut down on the cold air coming in when ever the door is opened, which should make things a little more comfortable for everyone. Come on down and check it out.

Now that the children are back in school it's time to unwind, relax and enjoy the peace and quiet, but then what? Sure, there a few things to do around the house, but somehow that just doesn't feel like enough. You want to do something more that will make you feel better while helping others. There is one word that describes how you can make a difference in your life and others, "Volunteer". There are a lot of places in town that could use your help and talents and brighten someone's day. There are churches, hospitals, nursing homes, library and Veterans organizations to name a few. There is an immeasurable amount of self-fulfillment in helping someone in need or putting a smile on someone's face because you took the time to show you care. I know that the kind and thoughtful people who volunteer to help Veterans at the VFW feel better about themselves because they know that they are doing an act of unselfishness. Just like the Veterans who, through unselfish devotion to duty to guard our country and our way of life, went to foreign shores to protect our freedom, these volunteers are just as diligent in ensuring our Veterans and their families are not forgotten. There are a few activities coming up that could use Volunteers like you, all you have to do is let someone know you are ready. Thank you for volunteering and thanks to all our volunteers, you are greatly appreciated.
