At the March meeting. Bill & Joyce Cooper, members of Deveraux Post & Unit
141 in Howell were elected as Veteran & Auxiliary of the Year for Livingston

and we wish them the best! Congratulations!
Fellow Michigander Keith Famie made this poignant documentary film, and our Post
had a showing on March 19, 2011. Our Post’s own John Colone had a prominent
part in the film. Pictured below is John standing in front of the traveling
Vietnam Wall displayed in the lobby of the Fox Theater at the films premier in
Detroit, on January 28, 2011. What a powerful film, do not miss a chance to
see it!
Thank you to all involved with the making of this movie.
March 27, wrapped up the last day of Texas Hold’em for the Legion
at the Link’s Golf Course in Whitmore Lake. Thank you to all
of the members who volunteered your time for this fundraiser
event! Check out other dates Texas Hold’em is going on in the
Auxiliary, SAL and the Legion Riders sections! |
