November 2025 Commander’s Message

Fellow Legion Members,

Welcome to November! This month we celebrate Veterans Day and Thanksgiving. Please honor our fellow veterans and participate in any upcoming events to represent the Post if you are able. Veterans Day opportunities are listed below.

Our 2026 Legion Membership Drive is underway! We now have 139 members renewed for 2026. If you have not paid your dues ($42), you can send your check payable to Morell Smith Post 440 to the post or by going online to https://www.mylegion.org 

Our SAL Squadron 440 Commander Mike Gallagher and I attended PA Legion College on Oct 25^th in Harrisburg. We both found it very informative and well worth our time. We learned a lot about SAL and the Legion from both the instructors and fellow Legion and Sons members.

We are gauging interest in the “10 Crucial Days” local Revolutionary War bus tour. Let me know if you have any interest. https://www.washingtoncrossingpark.org/traversing-bus-tour/
