A huge thank you to all our VFW Post 1216 and Auxiliary members who came out today! Thanks to you, our stretch of Interstate 90 between mile marker 182-184 is looking way better.

Quick recap of today's haul:

* 20 bags stuffed full of trash.

* Lots of steps for a great cause!

Your help means the world, and it goes a long way toward keeping our local area looking beautiful.

We are planning our fall cleanup for October 3rd, 2026.

Quick reminder on gear:
To stay safe out by the highway, wearing gloves, long pants, and sturdy footwear is a huge plus.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

This Memorial Day carries a profound weight for VFW Post 1216. As our nation marks 250 years of American independence, we look back on two and a half centuries of a grand, noble experiment in liberty.

We must always remember that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not passed to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

The peace and prosperity we enjoy today were bought at a terrible price. They were paid for in full by the unselfish devotion of ordinary men and women of our armed forces who did extraordinary things. From the frozen fields of Valley Forge to the sands of the Middle East, our nation's heroes answered the call. They gave up their tomorrows so that we could have our todays.

To those who made the ultimate sacrifice: we promise that your devotion will never be forgotten. To our Austin community: let us rededicate ourselves to keeping America a shining city upon a hill.

God bless our fallen heroes, God bless VFW Post 1216, and God bless the United States of America.
