Comrades,

2011 has been a great year for our post in which we supported countless Veteran activities and support our local Soldiers. I do not want to forget our community services in which Joe Barbosa and his team did an outstanding job with the Voice of Democracy, Patriots Pen and Teacher of the Year, all of which the team scrutinized over 160 applicants from our local schools. We are also moving the traditional VFW bingo nights to the Knights of Columbus (KoC) in Security. Of course next year will not slow down for Veteran activities, so check out the website for our events. Also, some additional 2012 promises, we are putting together a Men’s Auxiliary group, so if this sounds interesting we will be looking for leadership and new Men’s Auxiliary members. Swing by the Post or shoot me an email with new member’s names.

Cantina popularity has grown over the year, normally in the winter months it slows down – not this year. On any given Sunday we host football games with a very lively crowd to include the jerseys and camaraderie. To all our VFW Comrades get down to our Post at least once a month and do some visiting. Swing by and grab a soda or an adult beverage in the cantina or an awesome breakfast on Sunday mornings. As you may notice the continued common theme and that is to continue to support our Post in 2012

So, on behalf as your Commander of Cheyenne Mountain Post 3917 VFW, I look forward to seeing you all down at the Post in 2012.

Happy Holidays,

Yours in Comradeship,
Charles “Rocky” Russell
Commander (2011-2012)
Cheyenne Mountain Post No. 3917
