Post 1771 DispatchWe are at the start of another year. The Post is doing as strong as ever. We are still the third largest Post in Kings County. We still have a good mix of veterans from all era’s, from WWII to current day. We have sixteen members currently on active duty at home and abroad. We are very proud of them and they are in our prayers. Our Post received an award last year that we haven’t got in a long time, 100% membership. This year we are on track to get it again. It is the beginning of October and we are already at 80%. Thanks to all who sent in their dues early.
The newly elected Post Executive board is as follows:John Pieprzak – Commander.
Henrique Frett – Adjutant.
Jim Feith – Financial Officer.
Fred Schwally – Service Officer
Ed Bizinski – Judge Advocate
Rick Kenney – Chaplain.
Carl Licht – Vice Commander
Jim Hesse – Vice Commander
Ray Smith – Vice Commander
Robert Conlon-Vice Commander
Bob Pieprzak – Sgt-at-Arms

Here Come the Ladies…

Our Auxiliary unit is getting it done. Paula Sahraoui is back for her second term as President. Along with her is an influx of young blood on the Executive Committee. They are doing their predecessors proud by continuing the traditions that have always made our unit strong and active. I thank them all for their constant support in all our endeavors.

Constantly Updating:

Last year we reorganized the wall with the Unit patches. This year we are going to update the wall with the medals & ribbons awarded to our members. It has not been done since 1975 and it is long overdue. I am asking for members from all era’s to send in a copy of their DD-214 or write a note with all awards you received. Please include all devices that go with them. Mail it to the Post address, to the Commanders
attention. The goal is to have this done by the Memorial Day Parade so all the visiting troops can see
the history of our Post.

Departed Comrades.

We mourn the loss recently of Zeno Domasiewicz. He was a charter member of our Post. We now only have one charter member remaining.

Memorial Day Parade

Sunday, May 25th will be our 8th Annual Parade. This year we mark the 90th Anniversary of the end of WWI. We also mark the 25th Anniversaries of the conflicts in Lebanon and Grenada. Any of our members that are from those era’s are invited to march with us as guests of honor. Please let me know if you are interested in doing this.
