It’s the Sons Corner with Squadron 574 Commander Dan Lancette! Greetings Squadron and Legion Post 574 family, I certainly hope everyone is doing ok. I apologize for missing the February Newsletter, but don’t worry, I can make up for it in March’s edition. The 4 Chaplain Memorial Breakfast was to be held on February 9th, then it was postponed to February 16th, then cancelled all together because of the weather. We will not be rescheduling this event, it will return on February 8th, 2026.

Happy New Year to All my American Legion Family!! Here we go again into a new year of reflection, remembrance and starting over for 2025. May all the differences that may have been be gone, friends and families united, communities coming together and stronger than ever. I believe that this year will be our best yet, 2024 ended on a fantastic level for our Legion Family coming together. Although we may have had to say goodbye to some, we also have said hello to new family members arriving into this world.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all Squadron and Post 574 Family! I certainly hope these festive days are treating everyone well. Thanksgiving was great, football, turkey, more football, pumpkin and apple pies, last of football, pass out. Doesn’t get any better, there was family over and a good time for all as well. Now here we are in December, the last month of the year, please remember those who may need a little more this time of year.

Happy Veterans Day and a Happy Thanksgiving to our Legion Post 574 Family. How time flies, here we are starting the Holiday season. Is everyone ready? I’m barely over Halloween and here comes two of my favorite days, one that is a food feast and the other a celebration of how we are still a free Nation. And also an Election Day!! I hope everybody was able to vote on November 5th, the veterans we celebrate are the reason we can vote, always remember.

Hello Squadron 574 and Legion Post 574 Family, how is everyone doing? October is here, already! Leaves are falling and the raking has begun. If there is a veteran in need of assistance with any type of yard work, lend them a hand. If you can’t, contact someone in our community that may be able to help. Here at the SAL Squadron 574, we have some able members that will help out when needed.

Happy September to all Squadron 574 and American Legion Post 574 family. I certainly hope everyone has enjoyed the Summer so far, even though a little hot and sticky at times, July and August were good months. Here we go with our new Membership year of 2024/25, the ’25 cards came in July and already there is more than 60% of memberships paid. Great job being diligent and paying those dues so fast.

Greetings to all Squadron 574 and Legion 574 Family. Hope everyone is well. Here we are in June already, time for camping, boating, motorcycle tours, BBQ’s, fireworks and more. So much to do and so little time. Be safe in what ever you choose for an activity. For Post activities in June, The Riders are sponsoring a chicken BBQ on the 8th, $15 per dinner starting at Noon until sold out (reservation/sign up sheet in lounge).

Salutations to Squadron 574 and all legion family members, how is everyone? Hopefully all is well with you reading this. May is upon us already, time flies right? All of May is a month of remembrance, remembering those who fought in all wars to preserve our way of life and defending our Constitution. Those members of our military who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending the freedom we enjoy in our daily lives.

Happy Spring greetings to all my Squadron and Legion 574 family. Hope everyone is doing well. How did you enjoy March? I think a certain ground hog ended up on a rotisserie. I can’t wait to see what April has in store for us. Maybe the early Spring “forecaster” will redeem itself. Squadron membership is very strong for 2024. We are currently at 106% with regular and new members paid. Welcome to the newest members to the Squadron – Jim Matteson and Kevin Morris.
