Hi there, glad to see your message.
Couple questions: of course anyone that knows could also respond if they chose.
How many veterans are actively participating in the post?
Do you have a website with officials bios and organization activities and focus?
Thanks all, hope to hear from you soon.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out — glad to hear from you.

To answer your questions:

At present, we have a small but active core of veterans regularly participating in Post 143 activities, with additional members involved periodically depending on the event or focus area. Participation tends to grow around community events, service projects, and special programs. Members in our post our approximately 25 in number.

We do have an active website that outlines our organization, activities, and areas of focus, and we are continuing to expand the information available there, including leadership details and ongoing projects. You can find more information at:

www.Legion143.org

In addition, our affiliated radio and communications activities are documented at:

If you’d like more detail on specific programs, leadership roles, or community efforts, feel free to ask — happy to provide more information.

Thanks again, and I look forward to staying in touch.
