Greetings,

After your burger and fries, stick around and play Post 25’s ROADKILL Party. Yes, it’s a party when playing cards crashes into BINGO and you win MEATS! Yes, we’ve got the meats! There are Door Prizes and a 50/50!

And while you are there, stick around for the Rock Show. The popular local band Raisin’ Cain will rock the house from 5 to 8 PM, performing Rock music from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s. The band has been instructed, “Play hard, play loud, and ROCK it out!” Wear your leisure suit if you want and your best dancing shoes.

We know many of you love to dance. Come on over to Post 25 Sunday afternoon at 4 PM for Gina’s Merengue dance lessons. Learn some new moves! Gina also offers Cha Cha dance lessons on Wednesdays at 4 PM.

Red Skelton’s Pledge of Allegiance – a CLASSIC! & Upcoming Events

Published on by corvettes

Greetings,
   At last week’s American Legion State Convention, I happened to overhear several attendees mention comedian Red Skelton‘s classic 1969 “Pledge of Allegiance” story about his favorite elementary school teacher, Mr. Laswell.

We should all play this for our children and grandchildren.

Here’s a charming story from Red.

In 1937, while he was entertaining at the Capitol Theater in Washington, D.C., President Franklin D. Roosevelt invited Skelton to perform at a White House luncheon. During one of the official toasts, Skelton grabbed Roosevelt’s glass, saying, “Careful what you drink, Mr. President. I got rolled in a place like this once.” His humor appealed to FDR, and Skelton became the master of ceremonies for Roosevelt’s official birthday celebration for many years afterward. Red Skelton made us laugh for decades. Arguably, his Pledge of Allegiance story is one of his most enduring stories.

Red was 84 years old when he passed on September 17, 1997, and was buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.

Tonight, Friday, June 20, 2025, Jay Boree will perform from 6 to 9 PM.

We have a big day this Saturday, June 21, 2025, Post 25’s ROADKILL Party is from 3 to 5 PM.

Then from 5 to 8 PM, Raisin’Cain will ROCK THE HOUSE with a ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s ROCK’N ROLL Show.

See you all at Post 25!

PS – New “Happy Hour” time! EVERY DAY at Post 25 from 2-5 PM!
