As for myself, it is hard not to overindulge due to the appreciation of free meals offered that are abundant to veterans, especially in the larger cities. In many of the restaurants I visited, a drill sergeant could have said “Fall in!” and I would have bet the entire restaurant would have emptied out in formation.

Membership is also on the mind. Most posts in the 6th District are doing well, as of last check, and some only need one or two members to make goal. Get out there and talk to these people.

It seems every Legion post I’ve attended since becoming commander has been filled with great people and engaging events. Beanbag tosses, meat raffles, bingo, bands and karaoke. There’s always something going on at the Legion!
