Mother's Day As I go to visit my Mother in the Hospital today I wish to share this with you for all
the Mother's which have come and gone in our lives. Bill TownsNational
Chaplain I have worshipped in churches
and chapel. I have prayed in the busy street.I have
sought my God and have found him Where the waves of the ocean beat.I have
knelt in the silent forest, In the shade of some ancient tree.But the
dearest of all my altars Was raised at my mother's knee. The years
that brought me to manhood. Have taken her from me.But memory
keeps me from straying, Too far from my mother's knee.God,
make me the man of her vision, And purge me of selfishness!God,
keep me true to her standard, And help me live to bless.God,
hallow the holy impress, Of the day that used to be,And keep
me a pilgrim forever To the shrine at my mother's knee!

COMMENTS FROM OUR COMMANDER
Thank You For For Your Hard Work On Membership!
The
turn-ins in March are very important to us Dept of Ohio has won the BIG 12 Turn-in for the past two years. 3rd District has played a big
part in making this happen. We need to get as many cards as we can get. The BIG 12 turn-in
will be on March 8th at Post 776 at 1 PM. We need to have some cards for the Dept leadership to pick-up.
I would like to have some representatives from the Post to come in and drop off some cards. I know
that may be difficult for some because you work, but when you come by it will look good. Thank
you again for your support.
We have entered in the year of 2012. This is the year of the Dragon. I appreciate the support of each of the Posts in the
Thundering 3rd District. I know that times are tough, many of our Posts are feeling the economic
pressures of the times. Please do the best that you can to continue the strong heritage of your
Posts. If you are having problems, please feel free to contact your District. We will help
guide you in the right direction. Sometimes you may have to make hard decisions. Make sure that your members are involved and are
aware of the issues pertaining to their Posts. The economy and the smoking laws are having
a great impact on everyone.
You must work with your Auxiliary Units
and your Sons-of-the-American Legion (SAL) to help in make your Post a success. Thank
you to all of the Legionnaires, Auxiliary, SAL, and guests that came out and helped handout
gifts to the veterans at the Dayton VA, and continue to visit and help the morale of our Brother Veterans. I know
that the veterans appreciate all of our efforts!
Thank you all
for your support. Stanley A. Pleasant Commander
