Since the holiday falls on November 11 (a Sunday, the same day as the pancake breakfast buffet), the open house which usually follows won’t happen this year. Between our Legionnaires and Auxiliary members, they will be pulled in many different directions. Our Post hosts the Broome County meeting on November 12, and a Post Meeting on November 13. So our Post will have its usual Veteran’s Day ceremony at 11 am in front of the Post Home, and about 15 minutes later at the Johnson City Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Main Street. We will need riflemen for the firing party, so if you can help, that’d be appreciated. Help with the breakfast buffet is also appreciated as well, so those who usually work the breakfast, may participate in the ceremony.

Our comrades at VFW Post 2332 (207 Grand Ave. JC) will hold an open house on Veterans Day, November 11, from 1-5, and have extended an invitation to our members to drop by for some fellowship.
