American Legion Post 170

7 February 2023, Wet Mountain Fire Protection District (Acting) Chief Jeremiah Coleman, gave us an update. Commander Richard Posadas gave him a Post coin.

At the American Legion meeting on 3 January 2023, a Certificates of Appreciation was given to Jurgen Schwanke for Chairing the Wreaths Across America event for Post 170. Thank You, you did an Awesome Job!

The American Legion Post 170 Family presented a Certificate of
Appreciation to Jill Tomassoni of Tony’s Mountain Pizza for the support
and wonderful food and venue for last year’s Veteran’s Day Dinner. 

December 17, around 50 volunteers came out to the Silver Cliff Park to participate in the program – complete with a flyover – and join others in placing the wreaths at five Custer County cemeteries, to include Silver Cliff, Our Lady of Assumption Catholic, Lutheran, Ula and Rosita.   The 336 wreaths were purchased by local donations and often in honor of loved ones that served in a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces.
