Great tips from our city!

🍂 Don’t leaf your safety to chance this fall!

As the weather cools down, and before you get too busy with football, festivals and pumpkin everything, take a few minutes to get your home and family prepared:
🏠 Have your fireplace and chimney inspected before use.
🌳 Trim tree branches away from your roof and power lines.
🍁 Dispose of leaves properly and follow your local guidelines for yard waste.
🚨 Check your smoke & CO alarms.
🧺 Clean out your dryer vent.
📋 Review your family emergency plan and restock your kit.

I had the privilege of joining our Post 21 “Thugs With Mugs” for breakfast at Butters Cafe and meeting owner Johnny Rakipi, a proud Marine.

The restaurant’s Wall of Honor holds a special place in this veteran’s heart. Displayed with pride are 8x10 photos of servicemen and women, reflecting Johnny’s belief that “every uniform tells a story.”

It was especially heartwarming to see photos of Matthew Holley, one of our Post’s namesakes, and his parents, John and Stacey Holley, who are also members of our Post 21 Family. Our own Post 21 members Frank Dickey and Dan Ivey are also honored on the wall.

From the welcoming staff to the many customers wearing hats and attire showing their military pride, there was a wonderful feeling of connection and camaraderie.

Thank you, Johnny, for your service and for making our veterans feel so welcome. We will definitely be back! 🇺🇸☕ (Commander Mary Garcia)

Hello Everyone! Let’s have a little Halloween fun. Take the picture of the bare-bone skeleton and ask ChatGPT to dress you based on what it knows about you and add your picture in the comments. You can guide it and give it more ideas to customize you. I’ll start with two fun ones of me. Let the laughs begin!!

[Time Sensitive] Post 21 Family and Friends,

Have any gently used jackets, hoodies, coats, or other winter clothing for children and adults that could use a new home?

American Legion Post 21 is helping Life Changing Faith Church in Frisco with its clothing drive, and we’d love your support!

Our collection window is short, but there’s still time to clean out a closet and share a little warmth with someone in need. Please see the flyer for details, and help us spread the word.

Thank you for caring and sharing! ❤️

Commander Mary

Taking the mission beyond the walls of Post 21! 🇺🇸
Commander Mary Garcia and Adjutant Pat Zuczek visited Club 13 Pickleball Club in Denton, TX to present a Blue Star Banner to fellow picklers Tom and Charlotte Smith. Their daughter, Lindsey, is currently serving as a helicopter pilot in the Army National Guard.

Surrounded by their pickleball friends, the Smiths shared a special moment of pride, gratitude, and community as we honored their daughter’s service and their family’s sacrifice.

Supporting our military families is a mission we carry wherever we go. 💙⭐ 🫡🫡

🍂🐾 A beautiful fall evening for our Warrior Fitness Group meetup! A couple of our four-legged friends joined us with big smiles and happy tails wagging as we made our way around the Veterans Memorial Trail loop.

Of course, no meetup is complete without our “chat circle” time—catching up, sharing laughs, and enjoying each other’s company. ❤️

Haven’t walked the Veterans Memorial Trail yet? Post 21 is proud to have helped with its design, and we’d love to show you around. Join us on a Monday for a personal tour, some fresh air, and great company!

Two legs or four—there’s room for you! 🇺🇸 🐕🌭
