Saturday February 7th was the Sisters in Service Brunch sponsored by the Women's Veterans Outreach Committee. This committee was established to try to increase the participation of female members of the Post and to do so in a way to encourage their participation.

This was the first of what is hoped to be their ongoing service to the female veteran community. Their next big event will be a Paint & Sip in May and they also have monthly Coffee & Camaraderie the first Saturday of the month at 10AM at the Post.

Please come out and join them!!

Today we remember the brave sailors of the USS Argonaut SS-166.

On 10 January 1943, a Japanese patrol aircraft keeping watch over five freighters and several destroyers watched helplessly—the plane was out of bombs—as an American submarine torpedoed at least one of the destroyers. But the warships fought back and soon, the airmen reported, the sub came to the surface and heeled over to one side, the victim of a depth-charge explosion. The Japanese ships closed in and rained shells on the wounded boat until, a report examined after the war noted, they “had destroyed the top of the sub.” Too wounded to stage an escape, ARGONAUT succumbed. She took 102 men to the bottom with her, the single largest group of submariners lost in the war.
