Message from the Commander:

Happy Spring! After a long and cold winter, it's great to welcome the season of renewal.

It has truly been an honor serving as your Commander this past year. We've accomplished so much together, and I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Membership, Executive Board, Sons of the American Legion (S.A.L), American Legion Riders, and our dedicated employees for all their hard work and unwavering support.

There are two important events coming up soon. First, our Memorial Day Services will take place on May 25th, starting at 9:00 a.m. with coffee and donuts. At 10:00 a.m., we’ll hold the Post wreath ceremony, followed by services at Harry Ollrich’s grave site at Clinton Grove Cemetery at 10:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. in the Veterans section of Clinton Grove. The day will conclude with a ceremony at the Veterans Memorial area at Mt. Clemens Fire Station.

Also, on Sunday, June 8th, at 1:00 p.m., we’ll host our Flag Retirement Ceremony at Post 4. This special event provides a dignified way to retire worn flags that are no longer suitable for display, typically by burning. If you haven’t attended before, I highly recommend it. The Naval Sea Cadets, along with our Post, put on a moving and respectful ceremony.

Thank you again for your continued support of the American Legion. I hope to see you all at the Post soon!

Tim Shosey, Commander
