Message from the Commander:
Hello to all and welcome to the hotter dog days of summer 2010. And with that the usual “Yankees are in 1st place; Mets are in?? place”;
~
Receive a lot of junk mail and solicitations at our PO Box. One just came in from a JOISY guy selling the next big thing, that is, one “1,000 New Iraqi Dinar” for $20.00/US. He goes to say how much it will increase in value as Iraq is stabilized and starts getting oil out. Since I can buy one “100,000 New Iraqi Dinar” for $105.00/per at a currency exchange bank, please pass me whatever this guy (and he says he is a WWII US Navy Vet) is smoking.
Please send me any scams you might have hear about. So let’s start…

Monthly Question:
last month’s question was “What is the most common non-contagious disease in the world?” the answer is tooth decay and the winner again is John Purpuro who reminds everyone “you can win unless you are in.”
Only two submissions; which were Bob Schultz (correct also) and John Purpuro.This month’s question:
Let’s try a non-military this month. What weapon did German gunsmith August Kotter unload on the world in 1520?Like the lottery, you can win unless you are in.
Closing:This month’s meeting will be August 17 at the RP/VFW at 19:30.
