Commander Walker's March statement
Posted at 04:19 PM on Monday, March 1, 2010 by post5168
My Fellow VFW Veterans, Auxiliary Members, and Friends,
What can I say about February, WOW what a month!!!!!!
We had the distinct honor of naming WWII Veteran Bill Daily as Veteran of The Month. The Post was filled to capacity for Bill in his honor. He was given a certificate of Appreciation, a certificate of Recognition from Senator John McCain, and Mike Womack, Commander of the MOPH, presented Bill with the Silver Star Banner. Bill is also a 66 year member of the V F W. He was presented with a pin to commemorate this milestone. Bill was presented with many gifts from our local businesses here in Forsyth that sponsor our Veteran of The Month Program and we thank them so much for being a part of this great Program.
Valentine’s Day was a hit. Everyone had a fantastic time dancing to the music of the Drifters as they performed some of their well known hits.
There was great food and I had the pleasure of dancing with Bea Githens who showed me how it’s really done.
We are preparing a benefit for Brother Member Joe Gilmore. As many of you know, Joe’s house burned to the ground and he suffered the loss of his son in that blaze. We would like to show our support to Joe and his family on Sunday March 7th here at the Post when we will be working together with the Elk’s Lodge to support Joe. There will be a silent auction and raffles and food will be served. Bobby Maxwell of the Drifters will perform and this will all take place on the 7th between
Thank you to everyone who works so hard in preparing for all these events. We will continue to do all we can to support our Veterans, friends and the Community.
Next month we will be holding nominations for Officers. Please consider a position for the upcoming year. Join us at the next meeting on March 15th at
Don’t forget St. Patrick’s Day when we will be serving Corned Beef & Cabbage and enjoying the music of Wayne & Roy.
Thanks to all for your continued help and support and I’ll see you at the Post
With Honor, Pride, & Dignity, we are the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Respectfully Submitted
Walker Sumner,
Commander
