"January Newsletter" VFW Post 6872 Commander’s Comments I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. The year has come and gone. We are in the new year. We need to start thinking about the post elections and what direction the post will be taking in the new year. We have done really well this year and we need to keep on the same track. I believe if we make a few adjustments we can make things a lot better. I would like to thank everyone that has made this past year a success for the post. Let's not forget the fight has just begun with the talks about the changes or cuts in benefits over the next year or so. It is important we keep the VFW strong and working hard for our earned benefits. I think that when we show younger veterans how important and rewarding the VFW is, they will join us. David Bowers Quartermaster's Comments This New Year ahead is going to be one that is full of change. It will come in many forms and fashions. The biggest may be the Political change that we are seeing as we speak. It is ever so important that we as Veterans and even our family members stand up for what we deserve. We should be the largest and strongest voice that Washington and all the Politicians hear. We earned each and every benefit that has been granted to us, and our family members and under no circumstances should that be taken away to balance a broken budget. It should not matter if you are a Veteran of 30 years or a Veteran of three months, you need to take a stand and make sure that your voice is heard. If we just sit back and do nothing, then you will get nothing, but if we do what we signed up to do and defend our rights and freedoms then we can ensure that we will keep those benefits that we so rightfully earned. I hope that you all will take what I have said and put it into action. We should all be concerned about our benefits and should not sit back and believe that someone else is going to take care of this for us. We as Veterans must stand together and fight for each other and our families. I hope that you all have a very Happy and Healthy New Year. I am anxious for us to reunite and spend some time together after a very busy Holiday season. Just a few additional notes: · I will have an updated roster for everyone at the monthly meeting. · The District meeting will be held this month, if you are interested in attending please contact Dave or I and we will get you the date and time. · We are going to be voting on the replacement of the windows in the building so that we can take care of that before there is any serious damage to the building. Erin Wilson Chaplain’s Comments Well another year has come and gone. The wrapping paper, what's left of it, has been stored away to be used next year. All of the wonderful decorations have been taken down and put away in storage. The question that I ask at this point is, have we also put away the lessons that we've learned from life? Throughout the year we have been confronted with many situations that have proven to be life altering. Opportunities have presented themselves to allow us as an individual or as a group to reach out and help someone. Hopefully we have done this with a deep loving and caring attitude. Did you do it simply out of a feeling of obligation? Doing for others should not be something that we hold back and just bring out at certain times of the year. It should take place throughout the whole year. It should be done so that it comes naturally. GOD the Creator of this World gave us a very good example to follow. Even though, as human beings, we tend be disobedient HE still Loves us. HE showed this in a very Sacrificial way. HIS ONLY SON came to earth in a form that was familiar to us. It was presented as a Gift for us to freely accept. The coming of JESUS, the SON of GOD should be celebrated Daily. SATAN doesn't want us to be Happy and goes out of his way to show that. He spreads Hate, Greed and Lies that will entangle and trap us. GOD on the other hand tries to teach us to have FAITH and TRUST in HIM. HE NEVER LIES!!! HE is our ONLY SALVATION that will guarantee us a JOYOUS ETERNAL LIFE!!! Henry L. Spells Ladies’ Auxiliary President’s Comments I hope everyone had a great Christmas. We have all of our reports done for the midyear. Thank you chairman, for all your hard work. We have the Department Presidents visit this month. The luncheon will be Saturday 14th,2012 at 1pm at Hurst #4695.The District meeting is at White Settlement #5617 on Sunday 15th, 2012. The luncheon we will have our Buddy Poppy board display and Sunday we will have our basket. Pray that all our troops come home. Think of our members who are not feeling okay.
