Commander Commander Mark Winter
Fellow Comrades,
We held our Pancake Breakfast and Chislic Feed this month; the turnout was low with the competition of high school graduations. We’re still looking for additional help.
We participated in the Loyalty Parade at Brandon. We to be frugal on handing out the candy handing out process, so we don’t run out before the parade ends.
We participated in the May Day of Service at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, cleaning up around the gravestones. Thanks to Ryan Randt Thompson, Butch and myself.
We participated in the Experience Sioux Falls 250thAnniversary press release Thursday May 14, 2026, and was included in the Dakota News Now "Red, white, and back again” video clip about the July 4thParade.
We attended the Armed Forces Day Program Friday May 15, 2026.
A reminder that the Memorial Day Program will be held Monday, May 25, 2026, at the Military Alliance at 10:00 am., with the Marine Corps League hosting this year.
A last reminder that the Independence Day Parade will be held in downtown Sioux Falls on July 4, 2026, with the parade starting at 10:00 am. We’re planning to have a trailer with veterans seated on chairs. If interested, let the office know, seating is limited.
