Greetings from the
Commander
We appreciate you stopping
by our website. If you are just “surfing”, we hope that you
find value in our information and the service we provide to
the veterans in our community. If you are a member, we wish
to remind you of the enormous amount of information provided
here to assist in keeping you abreast of the happenings at
“your” Post. In any case, enjoy your “visit” with the
“friendliest Post” in South Texas.
Our Post has something for
everyone and our monthly calendar is full of activities.
Each of these activities is a success because of a dedicated
and hardworking membership. Volunteers are the backbone of
this type of organization and we never turn away the offer
of a helping hand. The work is rewarding and the sense of
family is strong and genuine.
Speaking of family, this one
is rather large! We have over 1,300 members in the Legion,
Legion Auxiliary, Sons of the American Legion and the Legion
Riders. We pride ourselves in taking care of and offering
something for everyone in our family. We provide
entertainment throughout the year for ages between 0 – 100. We have family picnics, Halloween
parties for children and adults, Christmas parties for those
who want to see Santa and those who wish to dance the night
away. We celebrate the New Year, look for Easter eggs, and
celebrate the birthday of our country and many, many other
fun activities. Our Post has active dart leagues with
sponsored teams, shuffleboard tournaments, and Karaoke at
the drop of a song note. If you like great foods try our
monthly steak nights and breakfasts. Watch the calendar for
other cuisine from chili to lasagna, hamburgers to
bratwursts; I know you will not go away hungry.
We are proud to sponsor many
Legion programs. Boy’s and Girl’s State, Oratorical, Boy
Scouts, ROTC Awards and Scholarships are just a few. We are
also active in Holiday Food Baskets, visits to the local VA
hospital and nursing home, donating time and resources to
the community and looking out for ways to promote patriotism
in this great land of ours. We have an active Flag program
and support local Patriot Guard missions for fallen American
heroes!
If you are in the area,
please stop by and say hello. We are always looking to make
new friends. If you are a member and have not been to the
Post in awhile stop in and see what is new. I promise either
way you will be delighted.
For God and Country,
- Henry Creech
