Volunteers Needed

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
The Post and Clinton Massie Schools are partnering to capture members' stories to be published at a later date.  Veterans would simply need to sit down for a structured interview with Clinton Massie's brightest.  

This is a great way to mentor and offer guidance to the next generation of sailors, airmen, soldiers, and Marines thus honoring some of the VFW Core Values:
-Promote patriotism
-Honor military service
-Serve our communities
-Promote a positive image of the VFW
If interested contact Ron King at the post or send us a Facebook or "X" message #stillserving

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT NEW FEATURE FOR FACEBOOK PAGE
If you know of an upcoming anniversary (day, week, or month is fine) of something that occurred or you got to witness during your individual military time, we want to highlight you and your storied military career, no matter how long or short it was to the rest of the Post. If you have any pictures commemorating that event, that is even better.

If interested in being highlighted or you want to shine the light on someone else, contact Ron King at the post or send us a Facebook or "X" message. He will work with you to edit it down to a readable post of a few lines.

HERO SHADOW BOX WALL
‘Shadow boxes’ are being hung inside the ceremonial hall. These will serve as a reflection of our members' selfless sacrifices.
 -Sorted alphabetically but not in strict order.
-Double check your box. Many DD-214s were aged and hard to read so report errors to trustee Ron King so he can fix asap.
-If you don’t see your box that means we need a copy of your DD-214 for the post as yours is missing.
-When you are no longer a member, it will be retired.
-If you don’t want to participate, let Ron know so it can be retired.
We ask that you respect the wall and not disturb these mementoes.  Materials and work performed were donations from more than one member.
 
FLAG RING OF HONOR GUIDANCE
Show pride in your service and unit!
-ANNUAL veteran members can buy at own expense, ONE 2’ x 3’ flag showcasing their branch, unit, ship, base, or conflict they wish to be associated with.
-LIFE veteran members can buy at own expense, TWO 2’ x 3’ flags showcasing their branch, unit, ship, base, or conflict they wish to be  associated with.
-Flags hung in order of receipt, ring of honor style, starting above the first  "slot machine”. Give flags to the commander for posting. 2’ x 3’ flag is small but offers the ability to put up more flags (+/- 100 members).
-Fully customizable option on Amazon for $20.35 (flag & shipping). If you need help with order, see trustee Ron King.
-Final flag approval at commander's discretion (with officer vote as needed).
