Thank you Deanna Lyons for noticing the flag in need of replacement at the Senior Center. We did get it changed out today!

The U.S. flag is very important to us and we are glad to have our community also understand the importance. We will have the old one properly disposed of.

Also thanks to Paul Thomae for being quick to help.

Thanks to everyone that made the meeting yesterday. It was a good turnout and good to see so many of our younger crowd with us. We don't share much from our meetings, but a little about what we did is worth talking about. We voted on financially helping one of our fellow veterans in need. We talked about the $1,000 donation annually we have going to the school lunch program, $1,000 donation annually to the school backpack program. We also voted to donate $500 to the fire department to help pay for Christmas gifts for kids.

I want to give a big shout out to our crew on the Honor Guard. Our guys did 89 funerals in 2025!!!

Our post is committed to helping our fellow veterans and it's a joy to be able to contribute over and above. Thanks to everyone that supports the VFW Post 3177 in different ways. We are happy to give back to the community when we can.
