John hugo kaiser vfw post 1461 90th celeBRATION

We celebrated our 90th year with an open house on Friday May 17th. During the open house we listened to the wonderful music of all genres by the Belvidere High School Jazz Band and awarded our local three seniors with scholarships for their continued education.

Saturday night we celebrated with a dinner and dance to the sounds of The Shufflers

Our Post Chaplin Michael I. visited Resa Middle School to talk about Veterans Day and Vets. He stated that there were great questions by the students and he was so pleased to speak at the school and answer their questions.
