Remember the fallen.... 23 October 1983.
42 years ago a coordinated terrorist attack killed 241 US military and injured upward of 150 at the buildings used by the USMC, Navy and Army personnel deployed as Peace Keepers in Beruit. Nearly simultaneously a bombing occurred at the Beruit airport where 58 French service persons and 6 civilians were killed.

The members of the Post were thrilled to be able to support the kids getting a chance to check out the Selfridge Air Museum.

Thank you to the Recreation Team, the young volunteers, the kids, Cravin' Raven for providing the lunch and the team at the Selfridge Military Air Museum for all the time you spent educating the kids and inspiring them.

The amount of paper airplanes at Cairns Community Center has increased drastically thanks to you sparking their curiosity.

Happy 4th of July to all on this the 249th year of our Republic. War, depressions, tragedy and triumphs. Our collective families have weathered a lot and will surely see more in our lives and future generations. We just celebrated the 250th of our citizen army and soon the 250th of our Navy and Marine Corps....
God bless and keep our service people and their families safe.
