Congratulations to our Founder and Past Commander, Joe Farina – A 2016 recipient of the Honor Legion of the Order of St. Sebastian award. The Catholic War Veteran’s highest honor. There isn’t enough room on the entire World Wide Web to list all the things he’s done over the years. Suffice it to say that this is long overdue and well-deserved. And he’s still not done. He continues to be the most active and enthusiastic member of our Post.

No event would be complete without the beautiful voice of our own MSgt. Mary Kay Messenger. Her renditions of Amazing Grace and God Bless America bring joy to every function.
Behind every great man, there’s an even greater woman.
