Message from the Post Commander, Jeff Meurer, CSM, US Army (Ret)
Greetings Fellow Comrades!
AL Post 572 Family Day will be on April 29th at Goodfellow Fam Camp under the big pavilion. Smoked Brisket will be provided, side dishes and desserts would be appreciated. The sign-up list is HERE.
Post 572’s 3rd Annual Memorial Golf Tournament planning stage has begun. We are needing Legionnaires to volunteer to help run our largest income maker of the year. This is your post so come help make this a great event!
Also remember March has a number of events planned such as the All Veterans Council’s 4th Annual Vietnam Veteran Pinning Ceremony 3pm Mar 25 at the LeGrand Alumni & Visitors Center; Combat Boots and Pearls Veteran’s Ball 6pm Mar 25 (formal wear); EC-47 Vietnam Veterans Day Ceremony at Goodfellow AFB on Mar 29.
In April Post 572 is assisting with Operation Warmheart’s Car Show Apr 8 at Mitchell Buick-GMC. Don't forget about the Honor Flight May 18-21. Please check our Events Calendar and our Community Events page for fliers and more information on all the events!
The San Angelo veteran community is quite active! Monies raised from these events are used to assist local veterans. Your volunteerism is greatly needed and appreciated.
Just a reminder that our Officer elections will be during the May 20th General Meeting. Post Commander is an open position, if you want to be on the Elections Committee or any other committee please contact Carl Frentz at adjutant@txlegion572.org. I have been elected as District 21 Commander for 2023-2024 as of March 18, 2023! I am not leaving this post which means we will be able to host District 21 meetings here in San Angelo!
Let us not forget our purpose! The American Legion’s top priority is to reduce veteran suicides by encouraging veterans, caregivers and others to "Be the One" to save the life of one veteran. Instead of focusing on the staggering number of veteran lives lost each day, it is time to focus on saving one at a time. That starts with destigmatizing mental health issues and making it OK for veterans to ask for help. The National Hotline for in crisis is 988 if you can’t find resources in your hometown. San Angelo has a number of resources, just reach out to us! Crisis & Emergency Contacts
“Be The One” moving the American Legion forward so no Vet is left behind.
The website content will be continually updated with specific local and community information as accurately and quickly as possible. Please check back often for website updates and new information about Post 572 ongoing and new initiatives.
