IMPORTANT NEWS AND INFORMATION

Team Texas. First< I must say membership looks pretty good here in the Detachment of Texas, however, I know that we can do better. First, for 2026, we are only 19 members short of being at that 100% mark. I really need everyone's help in getting those 19 members. Squadrons, pay some dues and then go and try to collect. This will ensure of us reaching 100% and also doing buddy checks and getting renewals which will help for 2027. Second, we are almost 40% for this period, and we if we make that extra push, I know we can reach the 45% mark by the target date of November 12, 2026. Let's make this one of the best membership years on record. Especially since we have one of ou own Texas members as SAL National Commander, Mr. Thom Skelley.

LET"S GO TEAM TGEXAS!

Our National Commander Thom Skelley, requests that we share our stories.

American Legion Family members, including SAL squadrons, who are planning on delivering community Thanksgiving assistance are encouraged to share their stories

Team Texas. I have attached some pictures of the POW/MIA signs that are being requested to be installed at as many restaurants as possible, by SAL National Commander Thom Skelley. This is one of his projects for his year. He has asked that we speak with as many restaurants as possible, to either place the POW/MIA Table in their facility and/or place one of these POW/MIA pictures in their facility. VA & R Chairman Maxwell purchased these pictures on his own for anyone to purchase and present. The cost is $50.00 and you will need to contact Jean "Max" Maxwell directly to make the purchase. Hopefully, in the near future, these pictures will be available from National Emblem Sales. As all of you can see, Max presented one of these POW/MIA pictures to a local restaurant in Comfort this past weekend. GREAT JOB MAX!
