TWO LIGHTS for TOMORROW
April 
17th 2025

 

Today we celebrated the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere by Henry Wadswoth Longfellow. We did this at the Thurday, April 17th Monthly Coffee and Donuts gathering.

We watched a video of a stirring reading of the poem. It was read by C-David Cotrill. 


Earlier, on Monday, April 14th, 2025, several of our post members attended the Wisconsin State "Two Lights for Tomorrow" Ceremony.

Above from left are, SAL 3rd District Historian Seán, PNC Denise, Chaplain AJ, and Wis Veterans Affairs Secretary James.

American Legion and SAL members from nearby locations attended this ceremony: PNC Denise Rohan (Post 385-Verona), Chaplain/3VC Darrel “AJ” Feucht (Post 501-Madison), Historian Morris Sadicario (Post 501-Madison) and Historian Seán Patchin (3rd District SAL).

Then, we submitted an article about our participation to the American Legion's Legiontown website. (courtesy Wisconsin Eye, John Schroeder)
