Chapter President's Message

February is the month to honor the Four Chaplains, our Sweethearts, Famous Presidents of this Country and the beginning of Lent. We were honored to be included in the ceremony at St. Frances Cabrini. Gene Fanucchi, United Veterans Council, and all of the groups that participated did a great job. 


Thank you to all who participated in our events and hoping to see many more of you out there in the near future. Sending all of our love for Valentine's Day to you and your families.

Four Chaplains - Saturday, February 7th

We were honored to participate once again to pay tribute to these four brave Chaplains that gave up their lifejackets to save the lives of four young men aboard the USS Dorchester. We heard from Chaplain, Colonel Virginia Emery from the 63rd Readiness Division on Moffet, who told us of her experience in the Chaplain Corps. We hear from Vince Guinnane and his bagpipes as well as the South Bay Military Veterans Chorus. Thank you to those who participated as well as attended this memorial.
