Wow, what a spread we had on our Thursday evening meeting, the meal
was, in short, incredible. For country folks or most veterans, beans,
ham, cornbread are all the things you envision for a heavenly feast.
Thanks go to Jerry Sebert, Babe Long, Eli Pater and anyone I may have
overlooked while overstuffed. Continue reading →

Plans are underway to support our kiddos for the annual Main Street Treats, Main Street in Hominy.

veterans on the Honor Flight program visiting our Nation’s Capital.

leadership generation has no concept of this sacrifice and were put in
their place when those old soldiers dismantled those barricades so ill
advised to be placed to begin with. I normally do not use my offerings
to take a position on the current political environment but when our
veterans are kept in such low regard and our Post is of one mind we
will speak without party or agenda in mind. Continue reading →
