American Legion Preamble

July 2009

The
Commanders
Corner
By George Walker American Legion Post 154
Commander Tybee Island, GA

This may sound like a very early reminder about our Patriot's Day ceremonies on Friday, September 11th but I want to make sure everyone knows that we will once again be having a program to honor the courage and sacrifice of our men and women in the many areas of Public Service and all branches of the service.
We ask everyone to bring a covered dish and a big appetite. We expect to have a guest speaker and some great music.
Also on Saturday, August 22nd, the "2nd Time Around" will be performing at the Post. Tickets for the dance will be available at the Post about ten days before the event.
For the Legion this is also when we start reminding everyone that it's membership renewal time. Our new Legion year began July first, so try to take care of your renewal the next time you're in the Post.
For those of you who may not know, American Legion membership is open to any veteran who has served during a time of conflict.
Becoming a Legionnaire gives us more ways to continue "Serving America." This year we sponsored children for Boys and Girls State at Georgia Southern University where they participated in running Government activities.
If you weren't a veteran you can still belong by joining the Sons of the American Legion, or Auxiliary, if a member of your family was a veteran. If there are any questions concerning membership call the Post after 5pm (786-5356) or me at 596-1674.
As always, Linda or Patti will have the canteen open at 5pm every day and bingo will be Friday night at 8pm. Our monthly Legion meetings are on the 2nd Monday of the month at 7pm with dinner served at 6 pm.


For God and Country
George Walker
Commander American Legion #154
