Post 142 was proudly represented at this year’s Christmas Parade.  Sadly, I was AWOL, sick as a dog missing my brothers in arms. Kudos to Chris and Carl for their stand-up representation. The flu ambushed me this week as well as a few other things. Last week’s paper displayed a WWI tank mock up Carl’s son put together for the parade. He made some comments about our WWI heritage. Carl, play “Sgt York” with that young man. He as a bright future.

The annual Legion-Auxiliary Christmas dinner will be Thursday December 7th at 6:00 PM at the Hut. Legion will provide the meat, Ham and Auxiliary-spouses will provide the sides and desserts. Ham, hmm, Chef Sebert’s specialty! I can’t wait!

Keep your eye on the weather in case things have to be postponed. That will be most likely if the storms bring strong winds and lightning. If you are a veteran come on by. If you have a good story it may end up in print. Also keep up with us at website “americanlegion142.org”.
