Commander's Message

Our March meeting was exciting with more members in attendance this is a good time for all members of Post 146 to renew their commitment to uphold the four pillars of the American Legion and become active in service to our Veterans and community. Most of all I want to thank you for your service, and ask you to serve again.

Elections for Officers will start with nominations at our April meeting with nominations and voting in May.

In the newsletter section of this Web page I have posted an article by Mike Wagner on the recent landscaping event the Post and Riders participated in with Homes for our Troops

The Riders and Post made a significant donation to HFOT, and I have personally joined their monthly donation program. Please visit their website to see what great work they are doing supporting our Veterans
