---Post 170- brought in the season with their annual Christmas Party having the largest attendance of any Christmas Party since our revitalization in 2004. Lots of gift exchanges, christms songs and games left the USA as the winner of the Service Competition. The USA Flag will fly over the trophy with the American Flag until the next competition. We had a wonderful reminder that Jesus is the Reason for the Season and thanks was given for all our gifts from God in 2014. Post members transfered to Post Everlasting in 2014 were also remembered (Kirk Charbonneau (Vietnam), Jim Christoff (Korea), Harold Estabrooks (WWII) and Jerry Lacy (Vietnam).
