Sunday, September

Sounds like a great time

the Legion.
I’ll leak it now, a very
special, now annual afternoon
evening event
for Korony 253 also on
Sunday, November 10

guess it?
Speaking of this

battle.
Sunday, October 13

their neighborhood.
Other October events
info to follow when fi nalized.
Anyone doing Halloween
this year?
Good news. We’ll be
working on the reopening
of the Bronx Military
Veterans Museum. After
changing ownership, we
still had to stay at Dormi
for Joe’s dream, so we
graciously were given
our own room and we’re
not stuck in the corner.
Some changes but for the
good. Thanks to S.A.L.
members Angelo, historian
and Mike, school instructor.
To keep up with event
changes, please consult
your computer.
Until next time: It
may sound right wing or
not PC to some, but I for
one will never forget the
attacks on innocent civilians
on 9/11/01. Fly your
fl ag. Pray for peace.
Had a great turnout
for the Labor Day BBQ,
good food lots of laughs.
Thank you all for coming
by and supporting
the post.
We are in full swing
with our Sam Young
dedication on Saturday,
October 5 to Sunday, October
6. It is the anniversary
of our name sake.
We will be showing fi lms
of WWI along with static
displays of that era and
readings of Sam Young’s
personal letters to his
family while serving
on the front lines. It is a
learning opportunity as
to what men have sacrifi
ced their lives for in order
for us to live in the
greatest country in the
world in freedom. I encourage
all schools and
civic societies to attend
this event,our children
need to know this.
Sam Young grew up
in in this neighborhood.
We give him our due by
honoring his memory.
Meetings have started
for the Legion, Sons and
Boosters as well as the
Marine Corps League.
I am sure I am
sounded like a broken
record, for those that remember
what that is, but
we need your input to
get things done. The eligibility
rules for joining
the Legion have changed
so if you know someone
that has served invite
them down to see what
we are about.
That’s all for now. We
are stronger when we
work together.
God bless America.
