Post 5077 Teaches and Recruits
Posted at 01:50 PM on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 by speisk
The Greater St. Louis Area Boy Scouts held their annual flag retirement ceremony on 7 June at TR Hughes Ballpark in O'Fallon, MO. VFW Post 5077 was on hand with a Buddy Poppy display and general membership information.
Past Commander in Chief Jim Mueller and Post Commander Kevin Speis taught dozens of Boy Scouts the meaning and purpose of the Buddy Poppies. It was nice to see so many scouts wearing the Buddy Poppy on their uniform.
It was also nice to visit with so many veterans and hear their stories of service. Some were current VFW members, but most were not. So it was a great opportunity to recruit. Applications were given to Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, Vietnam, and Korean War veterans.
