I actually had a few days at home, so of course I didn't miss an opportunity to visit my Post. Officially named the Randolph County VFW Post 2698, it's always been called the Sparta Post. I showed up on Queen of Hearts night and was immediately pressed into service by my long-time friend and fellow Post member, Gary Stork. It was a fun evening and I did enjoy relaxing, seeing old friends, and making new ones. A VFW Post Home truly is a special place for veterans. We need to ensure we never lose sight of that!
Apparently, Gary felt that I needed special training on the nuances of selling 6 tickets for $5, but 15 tickets for $10!
