As always, we had a very busy season,
before we know it we will be in winter mode. I hope everyone had a safe and
pleasant summer. Our Niles 4th of July parade was successful. We had
the Color Guard from Army Reserve kick off the parade followed by our VFW Post.
The Army Color Guard were very professional, and it was a good advertising
campaign for all attendees. Candy and flags were handed out to all who came to
the parade and was very well received. Also, I want to thank Kristina
Vasilic from Niles Village Committee for her support. Scholarship Program
letters from VFW Post 3579 send out to local business, schools and our post
members asking to make a gift to the scholarship Program. I would like to thankHarry Benjamin and the committee for their outstanding effort to make
this program a success. Our Post had a very good turnout on Patriots Day (9/11)
Ceremony, Thank you to all who attended and the Niles Police Department and
Fire Department. The Police Department Color Guard did a great job and looked
very sharp. Also, thanks to our Color Guard Captain John Bugajski and our own
Color Guard they did an outstanding job.
