NEW FROM THE HUT by John Hamilton

At our last Hominy Post 142 monthly business meeting, there was a small ceremony conducted by the Post First Vice Commander, Charlie O’Leary to present new American Legion hats to a couple of our latest Post 142 members Jim Evans and Kevin King.

Jim Evans is an Army Veteran of the Vietnam War, a member of our Hominy Post 142 for the past year and has been a resident of Hominy for many years. Jim has many stories from his military life and about Hominy and the surrounding areas.

Kevin King is an Army Veteran of the Gulf War, a member of our Hominy Post 142 for the past three years, and an employee of our local Dick Connor Correctional Center in Hominy. In addition to that Kevin is a very handy, Handyman. All the members of Post 142 would like to thank Kevin for his wonderful repair job on our Post Hut’s rain-damaged roof and the repair of the damaged sheetrock inside. Thank you very much, Kevin.
