I want to correct a mistake I made in last week’s article. I gave the incorrect phone number for Ann Donovan regarding her yoga class at the Post. Her correct number is (347) 493-3649. Call her for times and dates.
Joanna Poehmel has yoga classes also at the Post. She has classes on Monday mornings at 9:30am and at 4:30 pm and Wednesdays at 4:30pm. Her number for more information is (518)390-9164.
I don’t think that anyone has an excuse for not taking advantage of experiencing the benefits of yoga. Now I feel better getting everything correct.
I have been very pleased with the interest that I have received regarding the community using the Post for family gatherings and parties
This facility has been received very positively. For information regarding using the Post for an occasion, please email us at vfwpost1545@gmail.com.
This past weekend our VFW District 3 had our annual Gold Chevon dinner and awards ceremony for Patriot Pen, Voice of Democracy, Teacher of the Year and Safety/Public Servant Award. Next year I am sure that our students will be well represented at this event.
One of the speakers at the dinner (Ben Thompson ) spoke regarding how Vietnam veterans were treated upon coming home after their tour.
The fact that the country was so divided regarding this war, the citizens were against the troops that came home after serving in combat for our nation.
He spoke of the fact that many veterans were not welcome in most veterans organizations. It has taken years for the country to recognize the sacrifices that Vietnam veterans did for our country.
Today we see the country divided on many political issues, although we recognize our veterans, serving since and now, for their service to our country. Should you see a veteran in your daily travels; just say “Thank you for your service.”
At this time so many of the members of the VFW (and other veteran organizations) are Vietnam veterans. All of these organizations need veterans to join in order to help support veterans and their needs.
Veterans must help each other In the same way we helped each other when we served. If you are a veteran, keep this in mind as without each other, no one will care like we do for each other.
God Bless America and keep our troops still serving safe.
Marc Farmilette, PDC – Post 1545 Commander.
