COMMANDER'S MESSAGE
Hello Everyone 8/28/17
I wanted to send out a reminder to everyone that the annual POW/MIA Ceremony held at Battleship Cove in Fall River MA aboard the USS Massachusetts is fast approaching. It will be held on Sunday September 10th . If you have never attended before, this event is well worth the ride. Members of the Legion Family which includes Legion, Auxiliary, Sons, and Legion Riders take part in this event along with special guest speakers. As always your admission to the event is free and if you arrive early you can also tour the other ships that are on display. If you would like more information please feel free to contact any of the Detachment Officers or Chairmen. Or you can contact me directly.
I look forward to seeing you at this events please show your support to the families of those men and women who are still missing or who paid the ultimate price for our freedom! Once again thank you for all that you do for our Veterans, their Family’s, and our Communities throughout the State.
Regards

Hello Everyone
I hope everyone is enjoying the summer with family and friends. “Communication” is the key to our success! This year I will try to send out information that I receive in an effort to keep all of you better informed of upcoming Legion Family Events across the State. As all of you know there are still many Legion Family event being held throughout the state while the weather is still warm. One of these events is the American Legion Baseball State Tournaments and at tonight’s game the Legion will be preforming their opening ceremony at 7:30 PM. This will take place at Fitton Field, 1 College St., Worcester MA. If you are able to attend and show your support of this great program please stop by and attend.
This year’s Department Commander Mike Davis who is also an member of the Sons has been kind enough to share his schedule of Legion Family Events with us. As we receive this information we will be sharing it with all of you so we can further show our support of these great Legion events. I look forward to seeing you at one of these events, and once again thank you for all that you do for our Veterans, their Family’s, and our Communities throughout the State.
