Commander's Column
Greetings;
Comrades and Members of the Auxiliary
Since our last meeting, our VFW Post 7110 has lost two of its members. The passing of Comrade Ronald C. Sommer - USMC / Vietnam Veteran and Comrade Edward K. Penrose Sr. - USAF / Vietnam Veteran. They will truly be missed, but not forgotten.
October is the beginning of season changing with cooler days ahead. Given that the VFW and Auxiliary worked together at the 125th Comal County Fair. With both interacting with the community to educate and inform on what this veterans organization is all about. I like to thank all who had the opportunity to come by the booth an assist. This was also the case during our annual Labor Day weekend BBQ cook-off. I also would like to thank the post and auxiliary members that attended the September flag raising ceremonies. We had quite a few to complete for our post requirements. On September 29, was our Veterans of Foreign Wars 119th Birthday. It was a great day for us to reflect on our purpose and view our mission as veterans by honoring the dead by supporting the living. What a privilege to be part of this great veterans organization.
