ADJUTANT'S UPDATE
Fellow Legionnaires,
Greetings everyone-As we move into February, I just wanted to point out that we will be holding the 83rdAnniversary of the Four Chaplains Memorial Inter-Faith Service on Saturday 7 February at 1000 hrs. at St. Francis Cabrini Catholic Church allocated at 15333 Woodard Rd, San Jose. Our American Legion District 13 are the hosts and sponsors of the event. Here is the history of the Four Chaplains, and I invite all of you to
this special ceremony honoring the 4 Army Chaplains who gave up their lives to save others!
As part of the new year, now is a good time to participate in the American Legion
Family 250 Challenge which is a great way to celebrate our country’s 250thanniversary
and to assist your community and improve your physical condition/fitness.
In case you are unaware, our current Finance Officer Mike O’Meara will step down at the end of January after 10 years as Finance Officer. He has done a superb during this time in one of the less glamorous but critical positions. We are looking for a new Finance Officer for our Post. They do not have to belong to our Post but must be an active member in good standing of the American Legion. If you know of anyone
interested in this position, please contact me directly. In the meantime, I will be taking over the position on a temporary basis, until we can fill the position.
“Duty First”!
Arturo Thiele-Sardina
