Greetings,
Memorial Day weekend is here. It’s time for all of us to take time aside from our holiday activities and remember those who gave everything so that we can live FREE in the United States of America.
A BIG THANKS to everyone who came out to Oak Hill Cemetery early Saturday morning to put American flags on the gravestones of our great Vets who are buried there. It was a beautiful, warm, breezy morning for such a solemn occasion.
A few announcements
Monday, May 27, 2024, is officially Memorial Day. Lake Placid, Florida American Legion Post 25 will have a special commemoration event starting at Noon. 2nd Vice Commander Denise Williams has a commanding public speaking voice and will deliver a tribute to our Vets who served and those who gave all. Please come early!
You will not want to miss this!
Afterward, Post 25 will be serving “American food”, hamburgers, hot dogs, and cheeseburgers!
Also, BRAVO to the Auxiliary of Florida’s District 8. At last week’s District 8 meeting, it was announced that the Post 25 Auxiliary is NUMBER ONE in District 8 membership!!! Congrats to everyone who helped make that possible!
