Commander's Corner
A Message from Post Commander, Bill Wilkinson
"American Legion Post 10, this is Bill, may I help you?"
Greetings everyone and welcome to February.
I hope this finds you well and safe. Have you been doing those “Buddy” checks?
February is shaping up to be another busy month here at the Post.
Starting out on Sunday, the 2nd with our Four Chaplains Memorial Ceremony at 6 pm. Everyone is invited (yes, the public too) and I hope there is a good turn out for this important ceremony. In 1988, Congress established February 3 of each year as Four Chaplains Day to honor these men for their devotion and sacrifice. This year marks the 82nd anniversary of the sinking of the United States Army Transport (USAT) Dorchester.
Of course there are the monthly meetings of the House Committee, Post membership, the Sons, Auxiliary and the ALR.
Oh, don’t forget the 14th! Valentine’s Day and the 15th is a very special PALS dinner, featuring Surf and Turf. Reservation by Monday the 10th please.
Last month a nominating committee was formed for elections of Post officers for 2025 - 2026. Would you like to run for office? Come to the meeting on Monday the 3rd to throw your name in the hat. Elected officers include Commander, 1st Vice and 2nd Vice Commanders. Interested?
There are other positions that still need filling too. Honor Guard Commander and of course Honor Guard/Color Guard members. Finance Officer and Chaplain are still open. Anyone?
Post 10 has changed a lot this past year. Why not come visit and see for yourself?
Respectfully,
Bill Wilkinson, Commander
