It saddens me that I can t be there right now to assist in the everyday operations of the Post. I would like to take a minute and Thank everyone for the well wishes and prayers for my parents. My mom has finally been scheduled for surgery on January 9 th. We also have my dad set up with nurses, caregivers, and physical therapist coming over on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. So, we are making progress with my parents. The Post is doing well, thanks to Gary, Steve, Jay, and Dave, who are Post Officers. So, thank those guys when you see them, I would appreciate it. I also want to thank the Post Staff; Our Bar Manager Arlene, and all of the Post 142 Bartenders, as well as the Kitchen Staff; Gina, Suzie, and our Servers; Nina, Denise, and all of the others who are behind the scenes making good things happen for the Post. I will keep everyone informed on my situation. I hope to get back that way in February or March.
