Teamwork ~ Leadership ~ Commitment
As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we want to welcome today's military service members into our ranks to become part of our elite group. Our common bond is the battlefield, whether you served in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Kosovo, the Global War on Terrorism, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, or peace-keeping expeditionary campaign. Your courage and sacrifice made a difference in preserving and defending world peace. If you are an eligible combat veteran, join us at our Post Meeting on the 1st Tuesday of the month!
