THANK YOU ALAN BAGULLY  I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS AND I AM VERY GLAD YOU SENT ME THE LINK.  I AM SURE MANY WILL APPRECIATE THIS AS THEY TOO HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS THE SURRENDER OF JAPAN SEPTEMBER 02 1945.  I HAD NOT YET TURNED 5 YEARS OF AGE.  THE ONLY THING I REMEMBER IS WHEN MRS LITZ THE DAUGHTER -IN- CAME RUNNING DOWN THE HILL WHERE WE WERE PICKING BEANS BEHIND HER FARM HOME AND SHOUTING THE WAR IS OVER.

4th District Team

 

 Please get those memberships into Department, don"t wait until the meeting. We were way behind the target membership and ended in 12th place in the departmen (THERE ARE ONLY 12 DISTRICTS IN THE STATE, WE FINISHED LAST).  Let's not finish at the bottom like last year.

Thanks for all you do.

JIM O'BRIEN Commander  4th District 2011-2012

The best place for information is to go on line, the internet and look up United States flag code, this gives when where and how.  But more importantly it remains for the veterans both active and retired  to protect and preserve the respect all veterans fought /served for.

  Important notice  about Members that have been called to be with God

Post Members please check the obituaries on a daily basis and keep us informed.http://www.ajc.com obituariesof our departed comrads. 

Thank you for keeping the post informed for those that have departed from our ranks.

We will miss our departed comrades at the post , until we will meet  pray for the families that have had a member called to the house of our LORD.  It only takes a moment.  Thank you

Sr. Vice Commander 4th district

David Ballacchino
