ADJUTANT'S UPDATE
Greetings Legionnaires,
As we move into autumn there are a few events that are quickly coming up on our calendar.
Veterans Day 2026
• Miller Middle School Veterans Day Commemoration 10 November, 0900 hrs.
• Vietnam Memorial Traveling Wall 10 through 14 November. Dennis Whittaker from our Post has spearheaded this display and our Post has contributed funds for the traveling wall. It will be located at the Cupertino Veterans Memorial Park. A separate email was sent to the Post membership regarding volunteers to help
with the security of the wall during these 5 days. Hopefully some of you can stand watch during this event.
• Veterans Day Ceremony 11 November. 1100 hrs. at the Cupertino Veterans Memorial Park. This event is the key Veterans Day event for the city of Cupertino, and several Post members play key roles in the event.
• San Jose Veterans Day Parade (Downtown San Jose) 11 November 1100 speeches, 1200 hrs. parade.
Wreaths Across America is scheduled for 19 December and the donor request letters have gone out to previous donors. If you haven’t had a chance to support or attend the event, I ask you to consider donating and attending. Here is the link for more
information about WAA.
This past week once again our Post sponsored a lunch for the DeAnza Student Veterans Association at DeAnza College. Bill Reichard did a great job as the point of contact and making sure the meals and refreshments were taken care of. There were over 45 students who stopped by and enjoyed some food and camaraderie with our Post members who attended and fellow student Veterans. Our Post has sponsored these lunches for the past 5 years and we have two more this year, the winter and spring sessions. Here is a picture from the other day!
