SEDALIA (Tony Gallagher, 40 & 8 Commander) -  Veteran's Day 2013!  What a great day from start to finish!  The S-C JROTC served a delicious breakfast to all veterans and their families at the high school.  This was followed by a great program in the gymnasium with honors paid to all the veterans.  I very much appreciated being asked to be the main speaker and was humbled.

As a veteran, I did not like the idea of the rally at the courthouse on Saturday (Oct. 12) turning into a Republican event that took every opportunity it could to bash the President of the United States.

Well, it was a great Saturday (Oct. 12), showing support at the Sedalia courthouse and being a member of the 40 & 8.  I’m proud to say that I’m a veteran.  Now with that said, we held a veterans' rally at the same time the rally was going on in Washington D.C., where rally members picked up the barricades and carried them to the White House in protest of the shutdown of the memorials and the t

It was a beautiful evening to welcome home the 12th Honor Flight in Sedalia, Mo. They were escorted by a group of about 75 local motorcycle riders from Marshall Junction to Sedalia on Tuesday night (Sept. 3).

The Korean War may have happened over 60 years ago and may be called the “Forgotten War,” but it was remembered by those who gathered at the Sedalia VFW on Sunday afternoon (June 23). Eighteen Korean War vets were on hand to be recognized for their service by the Sedalia VFW. Post Commander Larry Reven and Service Coordinator Gary Gill led the program that was held in honor of the 63rd Anniversary
