U.S. ARMY

The U.S. Army is made up of the most dedicated, most respected soldiers in the world. These soldiers protect America's Freedoms while serving at home and abroad, and they are always prepared to defend the nation in times of need.

U.S. MARINES

We are soldiers of the sea, providing forces and detachments to naval ships and shore operations. We are global leaders, developing expeditionary doctrine and innovations that set the example, and leading other countries' forces and agencies in the multinational military operations. These unique capabilities make us "First to Fight", and our nations first line of defense.

U.S. NAVY

America's Navy is a force as relevant today as it's been historically significan for the last 238 years. The times may change, the threats may become more obscure, the complex nature of 21st century life may make the demand for such presence less obvious. However, now more than ever, the Navy is something to be aware of Something to be thankful for. Something to be proud of.

Commander Jeri Harwood

Hello Comrades,
We are going on our 3rd year and this past year we killed it.  The new year has started and I am focusing on having more members especially some younger individuals.  I know we just need to focus and have a membership form on us at all times.
Our next meeting in August we will discuss the Jim Click Raffle tickets we are selling and our Benefit Dinner and Raffle.  If you know someone who wants to help sponsor our post, let the Quartermaster (Pete) or myself know.
We are also going to do a POW/MIA event with American Legion Post 132 here in Oro Valley.
If you have questions, let me know.  
Thank you again.
Commander Jeri
