Volunteers needed! Can you cook? Want
to have fun and help out the post’s Saturday
morning breakfast crew? Can you take
orders, bus tables or wash dishes? Or how
about helping with the monthly dinners? If so,
contact the post commander or canteen manager and
volunteer your special talents or skills.
Poppy Plates are still available.
Honor a veteran, friend or business
by donating to our Veterans Relief
Fund. Leave your donations at the
canteen or give to our poppy chair-
men Dave Hard and Joyce Miller.
Canteen Corner: Hello from the Canteen!
Our big news for this issue is the
fact we changed our Monthly
Drawing from the 4th Friday of
the month to the 4th Saturday.
We will also have live entertain-
ment that night for all out mem-
bers and their guests to enjoy. If you haven’t been to the canteen in
awhile, you will find that we now
have Keno machines in place. Play
it or get your Lottery tickets while
enjoying a Blue Moon and some chicken tenders with
friends. Our Tuesday Wing Night hours of 5:00-
7:00pm provide ample time for our clamoring fans to
order and devour these tantalizing delicacies. And
breakfast is served as well every Saturday morning
from 7:00 to 10:30am. Come enjoy the “Blue
Bomber”, our “SOS Camper Special” or other
menu items with neighbors and friends. Don’t
forget Monday night drawings, Wednesday Queen
of Hearts, and Friday jukebox night where the mu-
sic is free and the fun level is up to you. The post
is hosting another gun raffle that will be held on
March 24th. Three weapons will be given away to
lucky ticket holders. Tickets are $10. Lastly,
along with our monthly fish fry, the post will host
one every Friday during Lent starting February
16th. The event is open to the public from 5 to 7
pm and costs $8.50.
To use post facilities for
a reunion, wedding re-
ception, or anniversary
etc, call

COMMANDERS COMMENTS:
Over the past holidays, I had
time to reflect on all of the 2017
experiences we’ve shared to-
gether and the cherished memo-
ries of those whom we have
lost. Winter of 2018 is upon us
and it will not be slowing us down. We will continue
our Drawings, Tuesday Wing night, Wednesday Queen
of Hearts, Saturday Breakfast, and our Monthly Fish
Frys. And since our Monthly drawing moved to the
4th Saturday of each month, we will provide live enter-
tainment that night from 8 to 11. We still need volun-
teers to help with our many functions. Only a few
hours a month are needed to ensure we accomplish our
mission and lessen the workload for all. Additionally,
we have recently had several retirements among our
Color Guard volunteers and we are recruiting new team
members from our VFW membership. If you are able to
honor our Veterans as they are laid to rest, please con-
tact Danny Paumier or myself. It is our solemn duty to
pay respect to fallen comrades no matter how long ago
they served their country, and these military funerals
are among our proudest traditions. Thank you and have
a safe 2018. Commander Joe Gillen

Comments: Happy New Year. With the
holiday season over, we need to
get back to business and starting looking
forward to spring. I would like to thank
everyone who helped with the ‘Santa with
Cookies’ event this year. We served the
Shriners on December 21st and had a great
turnout. My thanks for everyone’s help
this year.
I was able to go to Washington DC, for
Wreaths across America on Saturday,
December 16th. I was able to take my
mom (Donna Moore) to lay wreaths on
our fallen heroes at Arlington Ceme-
tery. What a great experience that was
and which we will never forget. We
also visited many historical sites, Lincolns Cottage, Mt. Vernon
(George Washington Estate), Pentagon, and met new friends.
In the next month on the 1st Friday of February, the VFW does
their Fish Fry and the Auxiliary will do a bake sale. So please
come out and support our VFW and your Auxiliary, we all need
to work together. Our District Meeting will be March 11th, at
VFW Post 1388, Buckeye Lake at 10AM. We will have our
election of officers coming up at the April meeting. Our meet-
ings are the fourth (4rd) Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm. I
will miss Januarys due to the Mid-Winter Conference.
To those that have been ill, I wish a speedy recovery, and for
those that have lost a loved one my deepest sympathy.
Loyally,
Susan Stover-Hite, VFW Auxiliary President

Veterans Day at LU
Elementary school! It was another visit to the
school on Veteran’s Day
as we posted the flags
and listened to almost
300 children recite the
pledge and sing the
National Anthem.
This was followed by
patriotic songs and
poems by students and then the introduction of all
the veterans who
showed this day. We
then went over to the
Jr High for their lunch
with a veteran pro-
gram. Here we min-
gled with the 7th-8th
graders enjoying our
chicken tenders and
their company. 7th
grade teacher Marcus
Alford then announced our Post’s Patriot Pen win-
ners. Yes, it was another Veterans’ Day to
remember.

The Blue Plane Post Visitors
come from throughout the State
to visit and take pictures of our
Post’s Icon. This aged Navy
plane’s paint is beginning to fade
and the aircraft is in need of a
cleaning and repairs. Currently, pilots Pat Ferguson
and ?????? are researching methods to restore the
aircraft to it’s original condition. Estimated costs for
this venture is $10,000 of which we already have
pledges for $4,000. If you would like to donate to this
worthy cause, or can help us in this restoration pro-
ject, contact Commander Joe or the canteen manager
at 740-862-4028.
