ITALIAN AMERICAN VETERANS POST #1

NEWSLETTER

2011 – September – 2011

 

 We offer our sincere sympathy and prayers to the families of

all our deceased members.

We would like to ask everyone to take a few minutes to remember

and pray for our departed members.  Many fought and represented

our Country and then came home and helped build this organization “Giving people are Great people.” Veterans never stop giving.

                                                                                                                                        THEY SERVED US WELL

 

Please check our calendar at the Post and most important on our Website www.IAVpost1.com for all upcoming events and visit the Post lounge to meet new people.
