Coffee with the Commander
American Legion Post 29 in Siloam Springs announces a re-start of 'Coffee with the Commander.'

The informal meeting will take place from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. each Saturday in the basement of the Community Building. Anyone who has "put the Uniform on" and served on active duty is invited. All subjects are open for discussion except politics and religion.
To the local veterans, "We speak your language."
