Today, we pause to say thank you. 🇺🇸

To every man and woman who has worn the uniform, in every branch, in every era, in times of war and times of peace: thank you. You raised your right hand and made a promise, and you kept it. Some of you came home, some of you carry the weight of what you saw, and some did not make it back. We honor all of you today.

To the families who held down the home front, who waited by the phone and packed up the house for another move, who counted the days until a homecoming: your service counts too.

Here in Winneconne, Giles-Luce American Legion Post 364 is proud to stand with our veterans, today and every day. If you served, we see you and we're grateful. If you know a veteran, take a minute today to shake their hand and say thank you. It means more than you know.

Thank you for your service. Thank you for your sacrifice. Thank you for our freedom.

The Winneconne Wolves Trap Team lent a hand at our Sportsmen's Banquet, and we're grateful for their help!

As a thank-you, Post President Dick Krueger presented the team with a check for $3,040, half of the Banquet's 50/50 raffle proceeds.

Thank you to everyone who bought tickets and supported the evening. Your generosity goes right back into our community's young shooters!

Next Saturday, October 10, the Community Blood Center will be at American Legion Post 364, 536 W Main St. in Winneconne, from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Someone in the U.S. needs blood every two seconds. A single donation takes about an hour, and it can help more than one patient. Whether you've given dozens of times or have never rolled up a sleeve, we'd be glad to see you.

Donors who come in will also be entered in a drawing for one of three Kwik Trip gift cards, sponsored by Post 364.

To schedule your appointment:
Visit donate.communityblood.org/donor, log in, click "Donate Now," and enter sponsor code S038
Call (800) 280-4102

Scan the QR code on the flyer
Walk-ins may be possible, but booking ahead helps keep the line moving and gets you home sooner.
Bring a friend, a neighbor, or a fellow Legion member. Your hour on Saturday could mean everything to a patient who needs it.

On Sunday, September 27, members of American Legion Giles-Luce Post 364 gathered at Allenville Cemetery to lay Larry Eckstein and his wife Darlene to rest together. It would have been their 74th wedding anniversary. Larry and Darlene eloped to Dubuque, Iowa on September 27, 1952, and were married 61 years until her passing in 2013.

Larry was a longtime member of our Post and one of the last living WWII veterans among us. He enlisted in the Army in 1944 and served with the Tenth Mountain Division, taking part in the assault on Riva Ridge in Italy and earning a Bronze Star. Back home, he worked at Kimberly-Clark and later drove semi-truck until he retired at age 86. He carried the flag in parades until he was 93, and he lived to be 101.

At the family's request, the Post offered a graveside tribute: a color guard, a memorial reading, three r***e volleys, Taps, and a closing prayer, following the priest's blessing. Thank you to every member who gave up their Sunday afternoon to honor a man who spent his life serving his country, his family, and this Post.
Rest in peace, Larry and Darlene. Together again, on the day they chose.

There's no better way to kick off a night than with our hearts on our sleeves and our hands over our hearts. 🇺🇸

A huge thank you to Alison Otto and Bailey Church for their beautiful rendition of the National Anthem at the start of our 2026 Sportsmen's Banquet! Their voices set the tone for the entire evening — a moment of pride, gratitude, and unity before a night that raised so much for our veterans and our community.

Thank you, Alison and Bailey, for sharing your talent with us. What a beautiful way to start the night!

More moments from Sportsmen's Banquet night! 🦌🎯

We couldn't fit all our favorites into one post, so here's round two — because this crowd deserves it.

From the packed auction tables to the laughs shared over dinner, the 2026 Sportsmen's Banquet was everything we hoped it would be. Seeing this community come together year after year for Post 364 never gets old, and this year was no exception.

Thank you again to our sponsors, our volunteers, and every single person who came out to support our veterans. We're already looking forward to next year!

What a night! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who came out to Woodeye's Bar & Grill for the 2026 Sportsmen's Banquet — the energy in that room was something else. From the raffle tables to the auction floor to old friends catching up over dinner, this community showed up big for Post 364.

A huge thank you to our sponsors, donors, and volunteers who made the night possible, and to everyone who bought a ticket, bid on a prize, or just came to celebrate with us. Every dollar raised goes right back into supporting our veterans and this community — and nights like this remind us why we do it.

Enjoy a few of our favorite moments from the evening! More to come as we keep celebrating this year's banquet. 📸

And that's a wrap! What an amazing Sportsmen’s Banquet we had this year! Thank you to all of our amazing sponsors! And congratulations to all of the prize winners, too! We'll post more photos in the next few days. See you again next year!
