Our Tank needs Painting...
As most of you know, we have an M41 "Walker Bulldog" tank that has been proudly sitting
in front of Post 19 since 1981. Unfortunately, the weather hasn't been kind to our
"Bulldog" and its suffering from a serious case of rust and flaking paint. So, with your
help, we're going to restore it. In the near future, all Post 19 members will receive a
request asking for a small donation toward this project. The tank will be sandblasted,
primed and re-painted. Here's what our "Bulldog" looks like now...
Hope you'll help us fix up our
Bulldog...It deserves better
than this...look for your
letter from Post 19 and help
if you can.
Paws for Patriots - Help Sponsor a Guide Dog
Each year about this time, Post 19 member R.C. Stenberg starts out on a very important
quest. He makes it a mission to raise the funds necessary to sponsor a guide dog that
will be provided to a returning service member that has suffered damage to their eyes.
R.C. has personal experience with the special needs of a person that is seeing impaired
but is able to get around great because of "Rocky"....his guide dog.
Anyone wanting to donate to
R.C.'s project can make the
check payable to "Guide Dog
School" and send it directly to:
