As we are updating the inside of our home - our building crew had the idea to leave a time capsule in our dedication wall.

We collected items from our members and loaded up the ammo can with military memorabilia and treasures that were shared.

Tommy Baker placed the can so it can be sealed in the wall that will house a beautiful tribute to our namesake - Shane L. Goldman.

Keep watching for more updates as the interior comes together!

💚 June is PTSD Awareness Month 💚

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) affects millions of Americans, including many Veterans, Service Members, First Responders, and their families. While the wounds may not always be visible, they are real—and no one should face them alone.

This month, we encourage everyone to learn more about PTSD, reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, and support those who may be struggling. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

If you or someone you know needs support, these resources are available:

🇺🇸 Tyler Centennial VA Clinic:

You are not alone. Help is available. Hope is real.

Our Summertime Santa has been hard at work planning a Christmas in July toy drive!

The elves are still working a couple more details but here’s a list of what’s scheduled so far!

This drive is aimed at helping us fill the 8-17 age ranges as we always fall short in this category. You may not know this but we supply toys to families in need as well as several organizations around wood county like the Northeast Texas Child Advocacy Center, Caring for Sharing, and Helping Hand Hawkins.

We closed out the 2025 season with ZERO toys in the 8-17 range and are hoping you can help us get a head start on donations for these categories so these organizations can get their toys as soon as we start!

THANK YOU. Our success comes directly from the support of our community ♥️♥️♥️

Need some ideas?
Wireless speakers, or ear buds
Watches & wallets
Board games
LEGO sets (those super cool more advanced sets!)
Journals
Make up and nail sets
Sports equipment

We spy something 💙BLUE💙 on South Johnson St.!

The progress on our building revamp is coming along nicely and we’re thrilled to see some fresh new paint on the building today!

We’re pretty dang competitive and we thought the timing of the Mineola Main Street’s competition for most patriotic storefront was the perfect time to update the front of the building! 🇺🇸 ♥️🤍💙

We owe a HUGE amount of thanks to Rick Burgos of Burgos Painting for getting us fixed up on such short notice. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Call Rick for your painting needs - he’ll take great care of you! 903-343-1857

Still more to come! Keep your 👀 on the building for what we do next!

Last night Steve Lucas presented certificates of appreciation to Jay and Dianne with the Lake Fork Sportsman's Association for their incredible support of our annual veterans fishing trip.

For the last 3 years, Steve leads this special mission, giving our veterans the chance to enjoy a day on the water, build friendships, and make lasting memories. And maybe catch a fish 🐠 or two.

None of it would be possible without the generosity and dedication of Jay and Dianne. They also provide numerous opportunities for others in the community to find their love of fishing and teach about conservation and community collaboration on our beautiful Lake Fork.

We are grateful for your support and for helping us continue serving those who served us. We look forward to many more years of casting a line with y’all!

From all of us at the Wood County Marine Corps League—thank you! 🇺🇸🎣
