American Legion Members, 

We will have a Post 14 monthly meeting on Thur. 6/11 at 1800 Hours  upstairs at the Legion.  The new board has been selected and sworn in and will start their duties July 1, 2020.  Special thanks to all of those that volunteered to keep our Post going.  Also, thanks to all of you that renewed and brought in new members as we are a little over 105%.  Great Job!! 

Even though permits were revoked for the Parade this year, we will continue on with our traditional placing of American Flags on the grave sites of our fallen heroes in Sunset Hills Cemetery, here in Bozeman. 

We will start at 9 am this Thur 5/21 at the Memorial Stone and Wall near the south end of the Cemetery.  Distancing is covered as it only takes 3 to 5 people to cover a lot.  Please come help if you can as it goes quick if we have enough volunteers.  We will take them down and store them starting at 9 am Tues. 5/26 at the same location. 

Then on Mon. 5/25 at 6 am we will meet at the Fairgrounds off of Tamarack St. to gather the flags (90) to place on Main St.  We will remove them starting at 4 pm and storing them back at the Legion.  Again, please help if you can. 

Starting at 9 am we will have a "Silent March (walk)" of 6 Veterans beginning at N. 7th Ave. on the north side of the side walk on Main St.  The 6, wearing their branch uniform, will walk in single file carrying colors.  We have an Army, Navy and Coast Guard volunteer in uniform, but we need a Marine and an Air Force Veteran in uniform.  We will proceed to the Legion Club where we will disperse. 

At 11 am on Memorial Day we will conduct our annual Service at the Memorial Wall.  There is plenty of room, and it is outside, for groups of 10 or less to self distance.  No seating and no special Gold Star presentation this year. 

Rain, shine, or snow we will Honor our Fallen Veterans, their families and loved ones.  This is America and this is Montana and we have earned our Freedom.  Weather permitting, you might see a flyover or 2 and some Military Vehicles(courtesy of the Montana Military Vehicle Club) during the "Silent March" on Main St. and maybe even the Post 14 '33 Chevy Hack Bus.  We will do our Veterans, their families and loved ones Proud! 

Honor Guards are now allowed.

Thank you all for being members and Patriots of our Post and Community. 

You are the Best. The CLUB is open and back in business.  

Hope to see you soon.
