October 23,1983 I was stationed in Italy when i learned of the Marine Barracks Bombing at Beirut Lebanon. There was an urgent need for blood and I was called to donate. Today there is still a need for blood, Be a donor and help save a life! More details will be coming of an American Legion Blood Drive in Burlington in January 2027.

Today I dug an old sound system out of the closet to test it out. I asked the 5 guys who hang out in the back of our Post Meeting Room if they had any requests. After a lot of fighting, they came up with this compromise.

We were visited last night by 2026 Jersey Boys State Delegate Jamison Graham of Burlington. I had the honor to present Jamison a Certificate of Appreciation for Jamison's participation and successful completion of the Jersey Boys State Program.
