UW Joint Service Review
On 5/24 Commander Ray Fairbanks presented Steven Cazales with the VFW award. On Friday 6/8 Steven, a senior, will be receiving his commission as a 2nd LT in the U.S. Army as a military intelligence officer. Congratulations go to him on his success and we at the Post hope he has a bright future in the U.S. Army.
D-Day 68th Aniversary
June 6, 1944, 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. General Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which “we will accept nothing less than full victory.” More than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day’s end on June 6, the Allies gained a foot- hold in Normandy. The D-Day cost was high -more than 9,000 Allied Soldiers were killed or wounded — but more than 100,000 Soldiers began the march across Europe to defeat Hitler.

Poppies at the Beer Junction 5/24 5pm-8pm.
Meet Henry from Boulevard Brewing! We’ll be tapping some fun kegs and also trying out some of their great year-round beers out of bottles. $4 tasting fee, half of which goes to the VFW.
Update: The tasting went great. I want to thank all of those who attended. We raised $180 dollars to help Veterans in need. A Special thank goes out to the Beer Junction and Boulevard Brewing, without these two great companyies this would not have been a success. I snapped a few photos during the tasting.
Happy Armed Forces Day!!!
