General meeting tonight!

Join us in supporting a vital cause that will make a significant impact during the holiday season, a time when depression, despair, and loneliness are often at their peak for veterans. Your involvement can help bring hope, comfort, and companionship to those who have served our country, ensuring they feel valued and cared for during this challenging period. Together, we can make a difference in their lives and show them they are not alone.

We still need riders, sponsors and volunteers. We had marvelous fun last year. It was a real bonding community experience. Don't miss out!
*UPDATE*
As noted, many service members will soon return from the current conflict. Because it was never formally declared a war, they will not receive the support they deserve, and the effects will be felt for years to come.

ONE MEMBER OF OUR POST is aboard the ABRAHAM LINCOLN , nearing home after his fourth deployment in the past five and a half years.

The emotional and physical toll will make adjusting to life on land, free from constant threat, a significant challenge. This is often when individuals fall through the cracks. We are seeking to raise funds to address the needs of veterans who, through no fault of their own, will receive little to no assistance from the nation they served.
