For Families With
Active Military Members
The membership of Post 1 honor and appreciate all of our active
military personnel, serving in Iraq and other places around the world.
We understand the tension and worries of the families, whose members
make up our armed forces. To assist the people, whose loved ones are
serving to protect our country, we have made this page. Hopefully, it
will give some comfort and be of encouragement to you.
Since we belong to the largest veterans' organization in the world, our
members understand your position, because we've been there. If speaking
with one of us would be of help, please call the post at 918-584-4274.
