I would like to wish everyone a safe and healthy New
Year. A job well done to Mike Reilly for planning a successful Christmas
Party. Thank you to Jim Henk and Keith Renner for spreading
Christmas cheer by passing out Christmas cards to veterans at the Community
Living Center at Hines VA hospital. The Post Auxiliary hosted a Holiday
pizza party at the Veterans Home at Chicago. The party was much appreciated by
the veterans at the Home.
The Post presented awards to the Niles Memorial Patriots
Pen and Voice of Democracy winners. Patriots Pen /Voice of Democracy is youth
essay competition. The students read their essays to the Post members.
Membership is at 97.7 % as of January.
Please do your best to recruit at least one new member so we can reach our 100%
+ goal. "Leave no man behind” has always been the motto of the
serviceman. In battle we fought for each other, and we should continue
this fight. Twenty-two veterans commit suicide every day. If you're a
veteran or service member in crisis, please call 844-394-9472
I had the honor at City Hall to present Checks to Niles Mayor George Alpogianis from Our Post.
