1 Post 142 Pompano Beach American Legion News Sterling McClellan Post 142 ~ 171 SW 2nd Street ~ Pompano Beach, FL ~ Web Site: ~ legion@alpost142.com June, 2015 Message from the Commander My dear American Legion Family, hope all had a good Easter. We ve had a good Month. Once again we were honored by the presence at our Post by shipmates from the USS Cole during Fleet Week. Again, they were well received, and those of us who showed their support for our men in uniform were heartily expressed. (Some crew members in uniform showed up a day earlier knowing of US and threw our kitchen manager into a tizzy thinking we had the wrong day!) I want to thank Eduardo Alves of Smithfield Farmland for the donation of the Pork Loin that made a great meal for our guests. Thank you, I'm proud of all of you. Again a special thanks to those who are 'the glue' who keep our Post afloat. Our Mother s Day breakfast had a fine turnout. Moms,...who better to honor? They furnish and nurture our Veterans. Thank you to all that turned out for our Memorial Day event. We must remember that it is a special day where we honor our Veterans, especially those that gave the ultimate sacrifice. Again, make a habit checking our bulletin boards. Not all Post activities are publicized in our newsletter. Please continue supporting our Booster Club which is a tax deductible donation which is dedicated to our 'outside' maintenance. Any questions, ask one of our officers. Lastly, please encourage those you know to look into what the American Legion is about. For God, Country and Family. John A Silva Commander 1st Vice Commanders Report Full Speed Ahead for Veterans.
