FROM THE COMMANDER …

Where the heck did the time go? For as much grousing as I do, I am really thankful to you, the members of Post 11, for allowing me to represent you as your Commander for the past two years.

I hope I did well and created an inviting place where we can come together and celebrate our service to this great nation.

But now, it’s time for a change. Like General MacArthur once said, “Old soldiers never die, they just fade away” I intend to just fade away to the back of the room.

Please continue to support your next Commander as kindly as you have me. From the bottom of my heart— thank you for your support and dedication to the mission of the American Legion. May God Bless you all. Bill Kaczmarek
