COMMANDER’S CORNER – Kevin Rose
Greetings, Legion Family, As we welcome the crisp days of fall and prepare for the coming winter, I hope this message finds
you
well. Now’s a good time to check those heaters, seal any drafts, and clear your gutters — a little maintenance today can prevent
headaches tomorrow. November is a special month for all of us who have served. On Veterans Day, many local restaurants
will once again offer free meals and beverages to veterans as a gesture of appreciation. I encourage everyone to take part and enjoy
fellowship with friends and fellow service members. Post 19 members are also invited to join our comrades from Auburn Post 78 in the Auburn Veterans Parade on Saturday, November 8th. This event is
one of the largest Veterans Day parades in the country, and it’s always a proud moment to march together in honor of those who have served. Another great opportunity to connect is Café Vets on
Thursday, November 20th, from 10 a.m. to noon. Come by, share some coffee, swap stories, and spend time with fellow veterans in a relaxed setting. A special thank-you to Robin Woods, RN, who is
kindly offering free pedicures to all veterans. To schedule, please contact her directly at (425) 785-9573. As Thanksgiving approaches, let’s take a moment to reflect on our many blessings — our
families, our freedoms, and our shared sense of service. I’m truly thankful for each of you and for your continued dedication to Fred Hancock Post 19 and to our community. Wishing you and your loved
ones a warm and happy Thanksgiving.
For God and Country,
Commander Kevin Rose
