Andrew County Museum Director Jan Glenn invited Post 287 to attend Andrew County Museum’s Veteran’s Day program on Saturday, 12 November at 2 p.m. The program will feature 4 veterans who served in World War II and/or the Korean War. Eventually the museum hopes to have periodic coffee’s where veteran’s military oral histories will be collected and video recorded for future generations.
Legionnaire Edner Rudolph provided an after action report on the Andrew County Museum’s Veterans Day event. The event highlighted the military careers of Everett Powell, Robert Knechtenhofer, Reid Ordnung and Edner. There were 95 in attendance. Legionnaire Rudolph used some of his speaking time at the event to increase the public’s awareness of all the work Dick Munkres Post 287 does for the community, as well as the Kansas City Honors Flight Program. The veteran’s recognition program was well received and the museum will have regularly scheduled coffee’s to continue to collect the military histories/stories of our local veterans.
