POST COMMANDER'S MESSAGE

Welcome to American Legion Post 295. We have served the greater Germantown-Gaithersburg community since our Charter in 1984. As part of the Department of Maryland we strive as veterans to Still Serve America!

Come join us at our regular meetings on the 2nd Thursday of each month (except July) in the Party Room at Mission BBQ, 19800 Century Blvd, Germantown, MD 20874. Prospective members and guests welcome!

Congratulations to our own Cliff Bergstresser on his election as 2nd Vice Commander of District 8. Cliff recently completed his 2nd year as the Montgomery County Commander. 

Your Commander was elected to the position as Vice Commander, Region 4. A Vice Commander's normally work with developing membership. 

We performed a Flag Retirement for a local Rockville community on Memorial Day and played TAPs for a WWII veteran who passed away from COVID.

The Post also participated in the Kentland's 4th of July and had a great day.

Our next Post meeting will be in August.
