Thanks to L Bourque, Phil Gagnon, and the Estays for getting plants out at Christmas to widows. This year the post thanked 10 widows in Greene, which was a record. If you know of other widows please pass their names on to any of the people mentioned in this article for next year and our files. The Post also put funds for Greene veterans at the Oxford Veterans Home for Christmas. We are able to do this because of the support of people in town and work of veterans in Greene who continue to serve. I see so many people with vet hats we wish would help us.
The Greene Legion Post will have its first monthly meeting of the new year at 7 p.m., Monday, Jan 8, at the Catholic Church. All who have served are welcomed. The January staff call will be at 6 p.m., Jan. 3 at the Library.
We will be reviewing or busy December and various issues facing us and vets this coming year.
If you have a question about Flag Retirement contact L Bourque(656-9047); about Flags(we do not sell the poles), Plaque sales, etc. J. Girton; Membership, G. Marr; Monument questions or applications (pavers run $30 and stay around as a memorial to a loved one who served)E. Howell; Honor Guard, L. Bourque; and other questions myself, J. Koopman. If you have a Greenite that is in the service or has served since September 11 please call our commander so the name can be put on the 9/11 banner that rotates between Bonnie's and the Silo restaurants. There is no cost to have a name added on the banner. If you have a tattered American Flag and would like to retire it the proper way please put it in the podium we have on the South Canal St. entrance to the library.
