POST COMMANDER
Frank Molina
Well Members, here we are again. The month of September is gone and it was a busy one. A big thank you for supporting Post 24 on the 911 Memorial Parade. Also a big thank you goes to the OK Café for the wonderful food they donated to the Post 24 for the 911 Memorial. Thank you Carmen, Maria and Connie!
The month of October is going to be a busy one with parades and Helldorado Days. I would like to remind all members of the Fall Conference in Lake Havasu to be held Oct 29-Nov 1. If any of you would like to attend, contact Adjutant Don Aiton.
Also a big thanks goes to the Ladies Auxiliary for their successful Sock Hop. It was a huge success.
And again, a big thanks to the Tombstone Fire Department, Tombstone Police Department, Sheriff’s Office of Cochise County, Post 11 and it’s Squadron from Douglas, the Douglas and Sierra Vista High School Bands, and all participants in our 011 Memorial Parade. A very special thanks to Post and Unit 24 Color and Honor Guards!
’Til we meet again, for God and Country, Commander Molina.
Auxiliary President
Deirdre Nye
Unit 24 went dark for the summer but that did not mean that we were idle.
Pot Lucks continued every first Monday, with different themes every month.
Our Sunday afternoon fundraiser Slingo supplies us with not only fun but also it helps us be able to help our Community.
Second Vice President Susan Schubert organized a magnificent Ceremony where six veterans were honored with The Order of the Silver Rose. They were escorted by more than fifty motorcycles to the hall at Post 24. The hall was packed. The Auxiliary put on a splendid feast.
The Auxiliary participated in the 9-11 walk down/parade on September the 12th. Following The American Legion Color Guard, Dee Dee Molina our Legion Liaison chauffeured Tony Peroti in her golf cart, Tony being the eldest member of Post 24. District Chaplin and Unit 24 Chaplin Ann Graves rode behind Unit 24’s President Deirdre Nye on her Arctic Cat, who followed the Auxiliary Guard, a handsome sight. It was a memorable Memorial; Mayor Dusty Escapule was one of the guest speakers along with Col Michael A. Joiner from Ft. Huachuca. The Auxiliary put on a magnificent feast. A great big thank you, to all the women that helped.
The Outpost continues to be busy, helping Veterans with claims and what ever their needs are as well as a Peer Support Group every Monday.
A Soc Hop on the 19th proved to be great entertainment. Thank you Ladies of the Auxiliary for helping the House Committee.
We had meetings for the second Annual Bizarre Bazaar, which will be on the 10th of October, and of course meetings for the Childrens’ Christmas Party. Sandi Freeman has been a very busy lady, great progress Sandy.
Have you ever noticed that the Honor Guard pays meticulous attention to correctly folding the United States of America Flag 13 times? You probably thought that it was to symbolize the original 13 Colonies, but we learn something new every day.
At Walter J. Meyer School in Tombstone Arizona on the 17th of September, the faculty and students learnt the correct way to fold the Flag of our Nation and that every fold of the flag is a symbol. From the first fold of the Flag which is a symbol of life to the last fold of the Flag, the 13th fold, when the Flag is completely folded, reminding them of their Nations motto “ In God We Trust”, you could have heard a pin drop.
The American Legion Auxiliary was once more invited to share with students of Walter J. Meyer Elementary the things that are dear to the organizations heart. Last year they learnt about the meaning of The Pledge of Allegiance and why there is a Poppy Day, who makes the poppies and why we wear them. This year the students learned to fold the Flag of their Nation. There were many volunteers. It was a pleasure to see the children’s faces as they folded with reverence. I was impressed with one young man who gave up his position, folding the flag, so that a younger student could have that pleasure. I wish I knew his name to thank him publicly, however you know who you are young man and we thank you.
With me at The Flag Folding Ceremony, were Auxiliary member Dee Dee Molina Unit 24’s Legion Liaison and Decorating Chairman. Also The American Legion Vice Commander and Chef de Gare of the local 40 & 8, Michael Stout and William F. Pakinkis, Past State Commandant Marine Corp League, Arizona, member of The Wild West Detachment Marine Corp League, Tombstone, member of The Arizona Hall of Fame Society and last but not least, Gunnery Sergeant United States Marine Corp (Retired). The photographer was Donald Nye, a Retired Officer of The United States Navy. It was an honor having these Veterans help The American Legion Auxiliary with this Tribute to Our Flag.
Every year celebrating Constitution Week, the students of Walter J. Meyer decorate their schoolroom doors with patriotic artwork. It is always difficult to pick a winner as they all put so much effort into their work. Just before The Flag Folding Ceremony The American Legion Auxiliary judged the decorating of the patriotic doors. This year’s overall winner was second and third grade, Mrs. Fuller‘s class. Mr. Working’s class, the fifth and sixth grade won for the older students. This is a win-win situation as every year The American Legion Auxiliary rewards the students for their efforts with ice cream, we all look forward to that day.
The Auxiliary will be meeting at 6-30 on the 7th of October; we always meet on the 1st Wednesday of the month.
The second annual Bizarre Bazaar will be held on the 10th of October. Last year it was amazing, what a win-win situation. A must to see if you were not here last year. It is the same weekend as Ghost Riders And Corvette Show.
There is a Leadership Workshop on the 24th here at Post 24, Unit 24 is hosting. It starts at 9.00am and finishes at 5.00pm. Café Legionnaire will be open for lunch.
The 24th of October is Make a Difference Day. More information on this day appears later in this newsletter.
October the 30th is The American Legion Family’s Fall Conference in Lake Havasu. We have four Delegates from Unit 24 attending this year.
God Bless. Deirdre Nye Unit 24 President

Two great things happened for the Veterans Outpost this month. First, Susan Smith and Nancy Sperry are heroically organizing the office. And, second, the Boots for Our Troops Organization has given the Outpost a $500 grant to be used for veterans in need. Thank you Susan and Nancy, and thank you Boots for Our Troops.
Also, the new Veteran's Outpost sign is up! Thanks to John Ludwig for his donation of time, sign making expertise and materials; to Jim Bugg for creating the sign mount; and to Gene Simpson for the installation. Drive by 121 4th Street and take a look. It’s outstanding.

Make a Difference Day
When: The fourth Saturday in October
Initiated in 1990, this is a national day is for devoted to helping others by doing volunteer work in the community. The activity can be almost anything. Millions of Americans participate in community improvement projects. It takes the form of cleanup, fixup, painting, and repair in poorer neighborhoods, parks and municipal facilities. It doesn't matter what project you take on. It doesn't matter whether you help a non-profit organization, the community, your town, nursing home, a church, a food kitchen, or any other group in need. What matters is that you participate.
Make a commitment to help others for just one day. Make a difference on Make a Difference Day!
Did You Know? Each year on Make a Difference Day, ex-President Jimmie Carter gets out his hammer and saw, and helps to build or rebuild housing in underprivileged areas. There is not better example of people helping others than this!
