A Message From Commander Len Albight

Greetings Legionnaires,

Mark your Calendar:

Thursday, May 20th, from 10 am to 2pm, The 100th anniversary of the Ft. Harrison Hospital will be held at the Fort, in Helena. Anyone wanting to attend and form a car pool, let us know. 

Wednesday, May 25th, we will host a Bingo night at the Legion Club from 7 to 9 pm with 100% of the proceeds going to the purchase of our new Monument (GSFMM). 

Thursday, May 26th, we will gather at the Vietnam Memorial Wall to place over 2500 flags on all Veterans resting in the Cemetery. We like to have groups of 4 or more for each Lot and we will explain the procedure before you start.

Tuesday, May 31st, at 9 am we will retrieve the flags.

Monday, May 30th, at 6 am we will meet at the rear door of the Legion to place flags on Main St and then at 4 pm we will take them down. Breakfast upstairs in the Hall will be from 7 to 9 am.

Staging for the Parade will start at 8:45 am west of N. 7th Ave. back to the High School parking lot by the swim center. Anyone needing a ride in a Military vehicle please meet there. If you want to walk with Post 14 meet at 8th and Main by 9 am. Wear either Post attire or your military uni.

After the Parade we will gather on the south side of the Vietnam Wall at 11:25 am for our annual Services plus the Dedication of our new Gold Star Family Memorial Monument. Montana is the last State to receive one of these Monuments from the Woody Williams Foundation and it is here in Bozeman.

There will be a free lunch at the pavilion in Lindley Park as you exit the Cemetery on Buttonwood. We will then meet at the Legion for a Veteran meet and greet. All Hands on Deck please and thank you.

Congratulations Post members as we have reached our 100% goal for this year. Couldn't have done it without all of you. We still have some renewals we need to pursue and new members are always welcomed.

We are still looking for volunteers to participate in our Honor Guard and/or Color Guard program.

Our new VA Clinic, 1101 E. Main St., is opened and operational. See you on Memorial Day.
