For those of you that have not heard, we recently
lost Past Post Commander and good friend George Brins. George was Past
Commander for many years at 620 and was instrumental at keeping the Post
moving forward during good times and bad. He was a proud soldier, avid
hunter and fisherman and loved raising his crop of tomatoes every year
on the Post plantation, as he loving called it. George was a quiet
gentleman who always looked on the bright side of things and never
complained, even tho his health in the past couple of years was not so
great. If you asked him how he was doing he would give that smile and
say "Eh, what are you going to do". We will miss him dearly but will
carry on as he would have wanted us to do.
George's arrangements were held up in Rockland
County as per his family's wishes. Knowing that a lot of his friends and
Legion Family were unable to attend, we at the Post plan on holding a
memorial and remembrance ceremony at Post 620, time and date to be
announced. Keep an eye out here and come celebrate the life of a devoted
veteran.
I also wish to thank all the groups in our community
and individuals for their most generous donations to the Post during
these difficult times, it has allowed us to keep our head above water,
thank you all again. Meetings for the Legion, Sons, Boosters and Marine
Corps League are back in session on the regular scheduled meeting dates
and times,we look forward to seeing all of you at the scheduled times of
meetings to continue to show your support and be a part of forward
going ideas. We have started Legion Shuffle Board Sundays at the Post
with light food, good company and fun, come down and support your Post,
you just may have a good time!
That's all for now, stay safe. We are stronger as one, lets work together. God Bless America
Owen P. Mangan
