Published on by corvettes

Greetings,
   American Legion Post 25 will be hosting a Happy 249th Birthday America Party and Picnic on Saturday, July 6, 2024, starting at Noon. This will be a free, open-to-the-public, Veterans, Police, 1st Responders, and families event. Post 25 would like to extend a special invitation to our senior World War II and Korean War Vets.

If you know a senior WW-II, Korea, or Vietnam Veteran, please bring them if you can!

Post 25’s Independence Day Celebration guest of honor will be Tomoka Heights resident and D-Day C-47 (the militarized version of the DC-3) paratrooper pilot, 101-year-old Chester Barber. On June 6, 2024, Post 25 honored Mr. Barber’s service and bravery on D-Day with a special event.

For the children, there will be a 25-foot outside water slide and face painting. There will also be a Watermelon Eating Contest for children of all ages.

Post 25’s newly refurbished barbecue grill will be cooking chicken quarters and hot dogs. Plus, there will be corn on the cob and hot brisket sandwiches. Everyone is invited to bring a cold or hot side dish or a dessert.

Inside fun will include Cornhole Games with prizes, $1 draft beers from 4-6 pm and a July 4th Special Drink Punch. Local rock band Calico will rock the house from 2-6 pm. And lastly, Post 25 Commander Fred Pierce will lead everyone in their traditional singalong of Lee Greenwood’s classic tribute to our nation, “Proud to Be An American”.

Coming up Friday, the Walker Smith Band will perform from 6-9 PM and Fried Fish on the menu. Menu Items will be available from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. On Saturday there will be Burgers & Dogs on the grille from Noon to 2 PM. Then on Sunday, A Lil’Mixed Up will perform from 5-8 PM.

See you at Post 25!

Legion Post 25’s D-Day Event Was in the Highlands News-Sun!

Published on by corvettes

Greetings!
June 6th is an auspicious date in American history. It was “D-Day”, also known as “Operation Overlord”. Most of us know it as The Invasion of Normandy. It was the beginning of the end of WW II.

American Legion Post 25, Tomoka Heights, the Town of Lake Placid, Highlands County, and Florida were honored to have 101-year-old Chester Barber to celebrate the anniversary of this day this past June 6th. On D-Day, Chester was in the air, flying his P-37 (aka, DC-3) plane full of paratroopers to be dropped off behind German enemy lines to “take out” as many German soldiers as possible.

After dropping paratroopers, while being shot at by German anti-aircraft weapons, Chester returned to England and was loaded up with supplies to be air-dropped in France, behind enemy lines. Every flight could have been any pilot’s last. Chester flew many, many missions.

A big “THANKS” to Highlands News-Sun staff writer, Kim Moody for covering our D-Day event. And a bigger “THANKS” to Cindy Morrison for connecting with Post 25 and inspiring us to salute our local Hero and friend, Chester Barber.

Highlands News-Sun staff writer, Kim Moody, has extensively interviewed Chester Barber.
