Due to high printing and mailing costs, there will no longer be a monthly mailed
newsletter delivered by USPS. You can continue to receive your newsletter
monthly by email. We will be mailing printed copies only quarterly, for the
future, however, printed copies will be available at the Post each month. If you
know someone that has email but receives their Legion Newsletter by SNAIL MAIL …
PLEASE ask them to send their email
member@ciceropost.com or drop it off at the Bar. Please be sure to include
your name in the email.
The=
Flag Code
suggests that, "when a flag has served its useful purpose, it should be
destroyed, preferably by burning." For individual citizens, this should be done
discreetly so the act of destruction is not perceived as a protest or
desecration. American Legion Post 787 conduct a semi-annual Disposal of
Unserviceable Flag Ceremony. This ceremony creates a particularly dignified and
solemn occasion for the retirement of unserviceable flags. Drop your old,
tattered or unserviceable flags in the barrel at the front bar entrance of the
Post any time of the year. This service and the ceremonies are open to the
community
Membership Goal for 2012 is
614
590 paid up to date
As of March 10, 2012 we have reached membership of 590. That still leaves 24 members that have to renew prior to April 9th to reach our goal. Even the members that put their renewal on the refrigerator door have stepped forward and sent it in, so lets all get with the program, and send in your renewal.
I have also had some members tell me that they renewed on-line, however, three months later, National still lists them as delinquent. IF YOU RENEW ON-LINE, MAKE SURE YOU PRINT OUT THE RECEIPT AND GET THE BOTTOM HALF OF THAT TO ME BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY PROOF YOU HAVE THAT YOU RENEWED.
WELCOME TO NEW MEMBERS
Frank Rhodes; Bill Robbins; Bob Blake, Don Rubadeau; Sal Russo, Mike Caiiello; Bob Schladebeck; John Miller and Bob Fetterly.

Patriot Guard Riders is an organization of
people to support and show respect to the United States Military Member. In this
members of the PGR stand firm in flag lines and escorts for fallen soldiers.
Also stand flag lines to welcome those returning home from current combat duties
overseas. The PRG is not entirely folks with motorcycles. The only real
requirement is to have the heart to support our men and women in the Armed
Services. Please look at both these websites, National and New York State. If
you want to help Support our brave military folks please register with both
