Commander's Message

Time to Ride!

Armed Forces Tribute Rides, May 17, Laytonsville Parade

Fellow Legionnaires,

Post 295 has grown significantly over the past few years. At this time, (April 4th) we are 3 members short of being the 2nd largest American Legion Post in Montgomery County. That is an awesome achievement for a Post that had 27 members in 2003!

Our program Operation Provide Comfort has been a success. We have provided more than $10,000 in support to our Wounded Warriors at Bethesda Naval Hospital and Walter Reed. To keep the program moving we are raffling an Armed Forces Tribute Bike. For more on Armed Forces Tribute Bike Raffle .

Post 295 meets at the Golden Bull Grand Cafe, 7 Dalamar St, Gaithersburg every 2d Thursday at 7pm. Please RSVP by email so that we are able to get the right seating.

We do not have a Post home. There are several hurdles to overcome before we take that step. As a non-profit we accept donations to work toward  a Post home.  

For the Veteran!

Bob Ouellette, Commander
