COMMANDER’S CORNER – Kevin Rose
As we move forward from the holiday season, | hope everyone enjoyed a joyful and meaningful time with
family, friends, and fellow Veterans. The close of the year always gives us a chance to reflect, and | am proud of all that Fred Hancock American Legion Post #19 continues to accomplish together. Our
Sweats for Vets program was once again a great success. Few things are as rewarding as visiting fellow Veterans who are confined to hospital beds and letting them know they are remembered,
appreciated, and not forgotten. Those moments of connection truly reflect the spirit of our Legion. The Post Honor Guard remains an important part of our service to the community, and we are always
looking for volunteers who can commit to at least one day per month. This is a meaningful way to honor our fellow Veterans and support families during important moments. Anyone interested in learning
more is encouraged to contact Jerry Livingston for additional information. Our Annual Christmas Potluck Dinner and White Elephant Gift Exchange was a fun and memorable evening for all. The table was
filled with many delicious personal favorites prepared and
shared by our members, and the laughter and fellowship made it a highlight of the season. As Commander, | am truly looking forward to a
great year ahead at the Post, with our scheduled monthly events and continued opportunities to serve. | extend my best wishes for a healthy and successful new year to all Legion and Auxiliary
members, and | thank each of you for your dedication and camaraderie.
For God and Country,
Kevin Rose
