Commander's Comments - June 2025

Our Memorial Day Program was So well done! We had a large turnout, and the people told us how much they enjoyed it. Grass Valley and Nevada County honored Lou Canter, Lieutenant Commander, U.S. Navy, who was on the USS Arizona when it was hit in Pearl Harbor. After saving members aboard, he attended flight school, and flew seaplanes. He was shot down twice, but survived. He flew in the Korean War also. He lived to 102 years old ... What a hero. We had Brian A. Conforti, Major, U.S. Air Force, a U-2 Pilot, as keynote speaker. What a great job he did. Donna Mattson sang our Star Spangled Banner, and all the Service Songs, while Veterans came forward when their Service was sung. Barbra "Babs" Conner did a wonderful job singing a couple military related songs. Pete Vasilakos ran the Honor Guard, and saluted our Wreath. Thanks to Mike Hauser for putting the Program together.

The 1st Tuesday in June, 3 June, at 11:00 AM, we will have our monthly Executive Board Meeting. Come on out for it.

Our Auxiliary will put on a Spaghetti Dinner, for only $15, Tuesday, 3 June, at 6:00 PM. Door will open at 5:00. Kathy Madeiros, a great cook, will prepare it. Call and leave message at: (530) 278-5343. See you there.

All for now ...
