From the Commander 

Patriots & Associates & Proud Supporters, 

We continue to move forward with many of us doing good things in our community.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to JoAnn Allen and her family as she continues to make progress on her road to recovery from a severe stroke.

Plans are underway with Chapter 776’s Purple Heart Entities, the Nature Coast Community Band and Citrus County School District, for a special commemoration of our Nation’s 250th anniversary as a free and independent country during the band’s Spirit of America concert on June 28 and 29. 

Memorial Day is just around the corner. There will be a ceremony at the Homosassa Veterans Memorial 10935 W. Yulee Drive, Homosassa Florida, May 25 at 10 AM. All are encouraged to attend to honor the memories of our Fallen Brothers.

Another Citrus County Builders Alliance (CCBA) annual fishing tournament is now on the books. Chapter 776 is very fortunate to receive a portion of the tournament proceeds, which is our Chapter’s greatest fundraiser, typically bringing in $5,000 each year. Also, several Chapter members were treated to a day of tournament fishing by a professional boat and fishing guide at no charge. My thanks to all who came to the Captain’s meeting in support of our partnership with the CCBA.

The Hernando Beach Yacht Club is planning a 4th of July boat parade. My understanding is that they will be looking for participation from us, including riding in said parade. Please contact me if you would like to participate.

We continue to have a limited quantity of some durable medical equipment available at no cost to our members and their families. If you have particular need, please contact me to determine if its available.

As always, take care of yourselves and each other.  Remember that we are family.

Yours in Patriotism,

Richard Hunt, Commander
