The first decade of the twenty-first century was a tranquil one for the Ned Cutter Post. Receipts were such that the post was able to contribute funds to a number of civic organizations. Flags were distributed, along with Americanism, in local schools. On more than one occasion flag retiring ceremonies were conducted with school children present. Fair weather seemed to prevail for Memorial Day celebrations, contributing to several festive occasions. Senator John McCain of Arizona stopped by on a stumping tour for Minnesota candidates. The Post color guard joined with other veterans organization in raising the colors at the County Fair and on the 4th of July at the Court House. We had the Post and Unit Choraliers who sang at patriotic events. Veterans, children, youth and community were the focus for the decade.
