VFW POST 295

Gallagher Hansen VFW Post 295 -South St. Paul MN. was chartered in 1919 (100 years ago) by a group Veterans who after serving in WWI, returned to our community. They were proud of their Military Service and were seeking the comradeship of those who like themselves knew first-hand what we mean when we say; “Some gave all, but all gave some”. So, Inspired, by the knowledge that; “Freedom is not Free”, they dedicated themselves to serving their fellow veterans, their Families, their widows and their orphans and their community. It is this Legacy that allows us to say: “We take Pride in 295 because here we truly, Honor the dead by serving the Living”. – Mike Labovitch, Commander

A WORD FROM OUR POST COMMANDER

Comrades:

This is late because I had a heart attack while I was in Cheyenne and was hospitalized for 4 days and 3 nights. They corrected the problem by inserting two stints into that artery. However, even after discharge I was not allowed to leave the area until noon on Saturday January 19, 2019 with the restriction that I could not drive and as passenger could ride not more than 5 hours away and was required to take at least ½ hour break after 2½ hours. This stretched a normal 2-day trip into a 3-day trip.
