Post 273 The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely on advertisement. Before you decide, ask us to send you free written information about our quali¿cations and experience. 8 I would like to thank everyone who contributed so much time and energy in making Patriots Day, September 11th, so special in honoring all who lost their lives 10 years ago, “We Will Never Forget.” Our Post paid tribute to the POW/MIA with an inspiring ceremony on September 16th, by POW/ MIA Chairman Jim Orndoff. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Auxiliary Member Patti Petterson, our travel coordinator, for her continued work and effort in all of the fund raising travel services she provides to our post members. As of the recent Las Vegas trip, the Post has received over $ 20,000 in funds from the various travel events she has coordinated. On behalf of the Post, I also want to thank everyone that has joined the travel groups for making the travel fundraisers a great success. On November 11th, Veterans Day Ceremony starts at 11:00 a.m., followed by the next day’s Annual Veteran’s Boat Parade, this year honoring the Marines. Bring your family and friends; the lounge and Tiki bar are open to the public that day. It was our dear friend Leroy White (who recently passed), and Don Graham’s vision to make this a day of fun by honoring our five branches of service; “We will miss you Leroy”. This is what I love about our Post, our members who care about each other and the volunteers, who do so much, yet ask for nothing in return. Sorry, but, we will be under construction once again, for a short time as we replace the roof. We expect to have the entire project finished by mid October. So always remember what we are all about. We, as veterans, pass on our legacy to both new and active veterans. With the help of organizations like ours, we ensure that their acts of bravery and courage are never forgotten. We will fight for their rights as our forefathers fought for ours against terrorists, tyranny and injustice. In closing, please be proud to show your membership card when asked, after all, you earned it.

Bobby Blanco Disaster Preparedness At this writing two months remain of the current Hurricane season, which ends November 30th. At the end of August NOAA still predicted 14-19 storms (we have had eight so far) and 3-5 major hurricanes. Thankfully Irene, the first, skirted our state and Jose was not a factor however time and seasonal activity says we are far from out of it. We all witnessed through news sources the devastation and loss of life that Irene spewed forth, yet advanced weather analysis technology and warning systems lessened what could have been an even worsened outcome. The other serious weather issues for our area include tornadoes, lightening and flooding for which there may be fewer warnings, compared to hurricanes and surges. It is shocking to realize that there is a 100 to 1000- million volt potential build up prior to a lightening flash and our area sees the most of these. It is up to us as individuals to be prepared for anything, especially at this time of year. Jerry DeClercq Post 273 Disaster Prep.
