Commander
Youngblood here:
Well,
summer is here in full force. As we have
seen during the last month, hot weather and heavy rains have already caused
problems for our families, friends and neighbors. Let’s keep watch on each other for problems arising
from these conditions and be ready to lend a helping hand.
The
122nd VFW National Convention is scheduled for 31 July-3 August 2021
right here in Kansas City. If you have
never been to a VFW Convention, now is the time to plan. This year and next year, the Convention will
be here in Kansas City. It is an
exciting time to see what the new leadership will unveil as their programs for
the upcoming year. Various vendors that
support Veterans and Veterans Groups will be set up to allow you to see what
they are doing to help Veterans.
We
lost one of our "Rocks” this last month.
Comrade Sammie Rhoades passed, and was buried on the 29th of
June. He followed Comrades Jerry McGill
and Mike Wyatt who passed earlier this year.
Til’ Vallhala, Comrades.
Comrade
Larry Phillips (Quartermaster, Post 5789, and Department Judge Advocate) has
announced he will be running for the position of Department Surgeon next year
(2022-2023 fiscal year). Let’s show him
our support. With multiple past
Department Commanders, and the current Department Commander, Post 5789
continues to be an advocate for our Veterans.
