It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our friend and Post 53 adult advisor, Scott Fritts. Scott was a dedicated volunteer whose kindness, compassion, and service touched countless lives in our community during his 10 years with Post. His commitment will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege to know and work alongside him. His memory will live on in the lives he impacted and in the legacy of service he leaves behind.
Rest in peace, Scott. 💙🚑

Happy First Responder Friday! For this week’s senior spotlight we are highlighting one of our remarkable seniors Oscar Barton! Oscar has served as assistant to Memorials, Officer of Skills Management and this past year as Officer of Rank Advancement during his time at Post. Oscar has done an incredible job at educating his fellow posties on new skills and helping them advance in their rankings as well! When asked why he joined Post Oscar said “I joined Post firstly because of how cool it would be to ride along in an ambulance. I’ve stuck with the organization not just because of that, but also the amazing people I meet during and outside of calls, as well as gaining lifelong skills.” Oscars favorite thing about Post is “The Post Paddle Tournament!” Oscar is now off to Georgetown University bound to do some amazing things. Congratulations Oscar on everything you have accomplished so far and the even more exciting things you will accomplish in your future! 🚑💙❤️ #06820
