We just noticed that the Pizza Factory, thanked us, on line today. It was for the Gift Basket that our Commander presented to them this afternoon. We truly appreciate their hospitality during our recent Fundraising Event and look forward to working together again later this year.

So pretty good folks there.

Hello my friends and fellow Veterans. Just a few friendly words after our most recent Legion Meeting today.

First off, our previous Comnander is finally safe at home tonight. While he gets his strength back, he currently wishes no visitors at this time. Contact our current commander, Joe Mackey, to see when that might change.

Concerning the normal meeting , we accomplished getting some things in the planning stage for the new year . We spoke about the upcoming Memorial Day Speaker , Poppy Drive and finding out exactly about how we might start getting the Legion Building in better shape .

We also had a undisclosed donor , provide some much needed $ funding , too our Women’s Veterans group , who support a Women’s only Retreat in the summer /early fall . Keep it growing Lori.

We still have cases of bottled water in the shed . Holler if you want some . It’s all free .

The Jeep has finally been returned to the folks , who were nice enough to loan it to us . Many thanks .

Brian was once again Thanked for working with the Pizza Factory , for our recent Legion Fundraising event . He did Great .
Also, while not in attendance to, Craig was given a shout out , for getting so many folks in Donating both $ and prizes . Great job Navy Guy . And just think , he’s older than I and he has so much energy . Wow . It must be the Water .

In closing for now and yes I have kept my words to only be 3.5 minutes long .

Good night

Good morning my friends and fellow Veterans. Santa’s travels continue. I would like to make a few comments on this day, being l am one of his many helpers.

Before we open our presents, visit with friends and family. Along with sharing one heck of a meal. Remember there are so many Veterans, who wouldn’t be able to be home this year. They are requiring care in the many Assistance Living and Nursing facilities around the world. Many will be without family and friends around them . The staff at these facilities will do what they can to bring a smiling face to them and maybe even some special treat or small gift .

I ask all of you , be Santa Helper today for these men and women . Just take a moment or two and visit this Veterans and other members in these facilities .

If you really want to Celebrate the Reason for the Season . Stop by and show them how much you care .

It warms my Heart, just thinking about it . Again my Elf ( special sister ), will be making a couple of stops to do just this . If you can’t join me today in Oceana County , please please do it in your area.

I truly believe that Santa will be looking down as he travels across the world and smiling as he goes .

Thank You All

Don’t forget everyone, tomorrow morning at 09:30 Santa and one of his trusted Elfs will start off by visiting all 4 Veterans living there and the rest of the folks living there, along with visitors and staff. He will be delivering special goodies to the Veterans.
The first stop will be the Oceana County Medical Facility. Afterwards, he heads down the street a little bit, to visit the one Veteran there. Again with a Goodie Bag. And the visitor and staff, will be given a treat as well.

He sure could use a little help in bringing smiles to all.

Merry Christmas and Thank You All

Up date on Larry F. Joe called me earlier this evening with some great news. While Larry is still in ICU, he now can see visitors. I am going to try and make it down over the next couple of days. Please pass along this good news.

And keep the prayers going.

If I hear anything else, I will be sure to post it.

Hey folks I’m back already. And like usual, I have an odd question and yes, it’s outside of our county.

Here goes. Tonight our local Santa and Elf, made a visit to the Seminole Shores Living Center (Assisted). While there visiting with kids and adults of all ages, he learned something that greatly disturbed him.

There’s currently 15 Veterans living there . And no Veterans Group in the area are doing anything for them. Shameful.

12/17/2025

Hey folks, just heard from Joe, about Larry F. He’s going to be in the ICU of the hospital in Muskegon for awhile yet.

We all need to keep praying for him and his family.

I continue to ask if there’s anything we can do. Nope, just keeping the prayers going

12/12/2025

Hey folks, it was just confirmed that Santa and one of his Elf’s will be at the Oceana County Medical Facility on Christmas Morning at 9:30 in the morning. While he will be stopping in to see everyone there, including visitors, staff and residents, he’s especially excited to see the military Veterans that live there.

Again he sure would like to some more folks there to help him.

After visiting with everybody at Oceana Medical, he’s going down the road a short ways and visiting Cherry Blossom Medical Facility and everyone there.
Again he could use some help. The more smiles the better.

Let’s really show these folks we care

I have just received over 20 New American Legion Post 30 License Plates today

Hey folks, I just heard from a great source that Santa and one of his trusted Elf’s will be visiting both Medical Facilities up in Hart, on Christmas morning. Yet he needs a little help from our Legion Members.

There’s a few Veterans up there, that could use a little help. Most of all some “Smiling Faces “, to join Santa.

Also there’s a very loyal Detroit Tigers and Michigan State Spartans fan, living in Cherry Blossom. Anyone got any new extra stuff, that he could put in his room. He’s a pretty cool guy.

Next at Oceana Medical Facility, we have a Forever an Always “ Marine “. He likes to read basic history and mystery books. I think he would like any thing dealing with “Jarheads”. He really good to talk with.

There’s an a Very Mature Navy guy, that is still putting puzzles together. Not the real big ones, maybe 200 pieces or so. He likes the ones with pretty scenes and such. Kinda bright ones. He’s got talent.

Our next Veteran is an Army veteran. I think anything dealing with the Army would be nice for him. He has a very dedicated wife, who spends a lot of time with him. Sweet woman.

The last Veteran I would like to mention is a very Mechanical Minded guy who likes Popular Mechanics Magazines and Hunting Magazines. If anyone has any magazines like that, I am sure he would appreciate them.

If you have any questions, please give me a holler.

Looking forward to hearing about all the support that you will provide Santa with.

Thank you all.
