Commander’s Message

I hope everyone is having a great summer and staying cool with the hot weather.  Finally summer really did arrive!

I would like the thank everyone who helped out with Memorial Day and with the Flag Day ceremony we had at Ralph Gracie Park.  And a special thanks to the Elks Lodge 1052 who participated with the Legion on Flag Day. They did a great job and it was a good turnout.

 In July the 40/8 will have its annual Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, July 4th.  Don’t forget to purchase your tickets for this great cause.

 Don’t forget that the 2009 Department Convention is being held in Mahnomen, MN and the official hotel is the Shooting Star Casino & Hotel.  The dates are July 16th – 18th

 In August we will have our Legion picnic so check out our website or our news letter for the time, date and place.  Also the County Fair will be here July 29th – August 2nd and volunteers will be needed for our booth to help our membership drive.  For more information please contact Kathy Ramos.

Remember to keep our veterans and service men and women in our hearts and prayers.

 For God and Country,

 Patrick Hede
