Thank You Anderson Custom Carpeting!

Our thanks to Craig & Mary Anderson of Anderson Custom Carpeting in St. Louis, MI for donating the new flooring installed in the front & back entrances of our Post.

Thank You Alma Fire District & Nozzlemen MC!

Our thanks to the Alma Fire District for helping us give a warm welcome the Nozzlemen MC for their annual ride-in to our Post. Alma Fire District brought in the big rig to hoist a very big flag. It's quite a sight to see! We had a full house and a great time was had by all. We were honored to receive a beautiful plaque from our guests, The Nozzlemen. Thank you Alma Fire District and Nozzlemen MC for your continued support of local Veterans! We look forward to seeing you again next year.

That's a lot of "dough!"
We would also like to thank our Auxiliary Members and all those who helped make the Auxiliary's Spring Pastie Sale a huge success. Hundreds of pasties were made & sold with proceeds going toward Auxiliary programs & events that benefit our Veterans locally and on a national level. Special thanks to Bev & Walt for making the dough over the years. Your help is much appreciated!

Improving Our Community, Improving Ourselves

Everyone is busy with spring clean-up and our Post is no exception. Our thanks to the many helping hands who have volunteered to spruce up our Post and our community. We had a great crew to help with the improvements at the Veterans Memorial at Riverside Cemetery. Thank you Jeff, Les, Sam, Vic & "Fritz." We all appreciate your hard work & dedication!

VFW Post 1454 Honor Guard

Our Honor Guard participated in the Alma Elks Lodge #1400 Field of Honor Dedication Ceremony on May 6th. The weather was cold & rainy but many turned out for the beautiful dedication ceremony by the Alma Elks. Our Honor Guard always does a wonderful job representing our Post. We're very proud of these men! Nothing stops them from honoring their Comrades.
