Francis Scott Key Post No. 11
Official Bulletin Vol. XXXIX No.2
AUGUST — 2021
Masks not required if you have been vaccinated
COMMANDER’S ROLL CALL
American Legion Post 11 celebrated 103 years of existence on July 19, 2021. On July 6,
2021, the newly elected leadership were sworn in for each organization – Legion, Auxiliary,
SAL, and Riders. I look forward to working with Auxiliary President Debbie Cline, Detach-
ment Commander Jeffrey Seiler and Riders Director Tim Smith to make this a great year. I
am proud and humbled to serve as the 103rd Commander. Serving as Acting Commander
since February was a challenge considering the pandemic and all the restrictions. Thank you all for support-
ing the Post and my efforts to date. I will continue putting forward my best effort as Commander to make
Post 11 a safe place to eat, drink and play.
Leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act toward achieving a common goal. I have led be-
fore and enjoy leading from the middle. I enjoy interacting with everyone. One Band, One Sound. If one
note is off, the rhythm is off, and we want to keep the rhythm. We all must do our part to make Post 11 the
leader in the State of Maryland.
After attending my first-ever American Legion Convention, it was very interesting, and I learned a lot.
There was noticeable emphasis and focus on taking care of Veterans, their families and membership.
There's strength in numbers, so please be sure and let us all keep our membership up to date. The renewal
process has some changes so if you need assistance, call the office.
During the convention, our Post won the following awards: Earl B. Wright Memorial Trophy (Service Of-
ficer); PDC Herbert L. Rhodes Memorial Trophy (Rehabilitation Programs); George W. Harrison Memorial
Trophy (Website); John Sloan Newsletter Trophy (Electronic & Hard Copy); PDC D. John Markey Memo-
rial Trophy (Best Memorial Program); PDC Kenneth Hammer Memorial Trophy (Best Overall Yearbook);
William S. McBride Trophy (Largest Membership); Department History Book Trophy (Best History Book);
PDC Robert W. Neal Memorial Trophy (Best SAL program in Western Maryland District); and Maryland
Legacy Gold Star Donation Trophy — 3rd Place.
Adjustments, we have to make them in our daily routines, like the membership renewal process. Leadership
is looking to make other adjustments as well and are looking into the cost for goods and services. What you
pay for food and drinks have not been adjusted for some time, but what the Post pays has increased in some
cases, significantly. What the Post pays for utilities have gone up as well. Adjustments will have to be made
to maintain an operational budget. There will be adjustments implemented to current charges for food and
drinks. Some price adjustments will be shocking I am sure, while others will be subtle. Let us all work to-
gether on the upcoming adjustments to balance the Post Operational Budget. And continue putting forward
our best effort to keep Post 11 a wonderful place to patronize for all Veteran's, their families, and friends.
One Band, One Sound.

Librarian’s Corner by Barbara Barry
Welcome back to the American Legion Post 11 Library!
Matt Staden and I have been cleaning up, shelving new books, and getting the library up and running again! It
has been a long time and lots of donated books have arrived in the interim. Come upstairs, browse around, sit
for awhile, borrow some books. We have more than one copy of many books. If there is more than one copy
and it is a book you would like to keep, feel free to do so. Please sign the book out so I can keep track of out-
going books.
Matt and I are currently working on arrangements to donate some of the books and other written literature to
the VA hospital library. Additionally, we will hopefully be setting up an area of “Books To Go” downstairs
for members who would like to peruse some of the books and take a book home. We are open to suggestions
to provide books to members and others.
Summertime and feeling relaxed is a great time to immerse yourself in some good reading!

S.A.L. News by: Jeffrey Seiler, Commander
First, we would like to congratulate all the elected officers of the American Legion Family and wish
them all a great year to come!!
The Sons of The American Legion is starting their year off on the right foot already as we have had
numerous members already pay their dues. Dues run from July 1st to June 30th. The dues are
$35.00 per member and $15.00 for junior members. Please stop by the post and pay your dues and hopefully we can
reach our goal of 100% again.
This year our Detachment Commander Mr. Mark Fayer of The Sons of The American Legion has chosen “Casey
Cares” as his project for the year. This falls under the children and youth pillar of the American Legion. His goal is to
raise $60,000.00. This is what Casey Cares does.
Helping Families With Critically Ill Kids Enjoy Childhood
At Casey Cares, we know how difficult life can be for families with critically ill children. We help keep families' spirits
high by arranging programming - whether it's a simple movie night and a fresh pair of pajamas or attending a major
sporting event. Casey Cares makes life a lot better by adding a personal touch throughout the year and making lasting
memories for families in eight states and D.C.
Not once-a-lifetime or once-a-year, Casey Cares knows that the best palliative care comes from continuous, ongoing
support. Casey Cares bi-monthly customized programs give families dozens of opportunities to create positive family
memories. Many of our patients will be receiving active treatment for years and this will impact their siblings, parents,
and their community. We focus on the entire family, not simply the sick child.
For families whose faith, relationships, and pocketbooks have been stretched to their breaking points, these programs
with a special touch may be the only break many have from hospital stays and doctors' visits. For some, it will be one
of the last events they will attend with all members of their family present. While we cannot cure these children, we
can create little moments and lasting memories.
This is a wonderful program and if one would like to contribute or drop off a set of new pajamas, please see either Jef-
frey Seiler or Wayne Fox.
There will be no meeting in September due to Labor Day Holiday.
Sons Continuing the Tradition of Caring!!
Legion Riders By: Tim Smith, Director
I would like to first thank all for allowing me to be the Director for the next year. I welcome our in-
coming officers and look forward to what we will achieve. We are looking to increase our member-
ship numbers and we have some exciting fundraisers to help our ability to server our Veterans and
their community. We are selling a raffle ticket for two chances to win $200 worth of MD Lottery
Scratch Off tickets for $10 a chance. Total of 200 tickets sold, 100 th ticket drawn wins $200 worth of scratch offs, and
the 200th ticket drawn wins $200 worth of scratch offs. See a Riders member for tickets, winners to be drawn August
31st. Fall, unfortunately, is rapidly approaching and that is the perfect time for riding. We will publish our rides soon,
one hopefully to Skyline drive for the foliage. Ride safe, and all, please look twice for motorcycles.
If you would like to become a member or supporting member, please attend our meetings. You can also contact our
Membership Chairman (Jami Clevenger) at jamiclevenger@outlook.com or go to our website. Membership is free, but
you must be a Legionnaire, Auxiliary, or SAL member with dues paid up to date. You do not need to own a motorcycle
to become a supporting member. We meet on the 1st Thursday of every month at 7:00 pm sharp in the meeting bay.
You must renew your membership annually to stay an active member and continue to receive emails. For all members,
please contact our Membership Chairman with any changes to your contact status in order to continue receiving up to
date information.

GOLD STAR PROGRAM
What does the GOLD STAR mean? It is the continuance of the Blue Star flag tradition which originated
with World War I by means of the Blue Star Banner which is displayed in windows in honor of military
persons serving in the Armed Forces at the present time. The Gold Star honors all veterans whose lives
were sacrificed in the line of battle during the Great Wars or to any illness which occurred while on active
duty. Who is a Gold Star Mother or Gold Star member? They are very special people.
The Gold Star and the term “American Gold Star Mothers” are applied to Mothers whose sons and/or
daughters have lost their lives during World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Lebanon, Per-
sian Gulf, Afghanistan, and/or Iraq or while in the service to our country. This also applies to the Gold
Star Members who are wives, daughters, sisters, granddaughters, and great-granddaughters.
If you feel you are eligible for this program, please contact Sylvia Johnson, Gold Star Chairman at 240-566

The Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress
The mission of the VHP of the American Folklife Center is to collect, preserve, and make accessi-
ble the personal accounts of American wartime veterans so that future generations may hear di-
rectly from veterans and better understand the realities of war.” Collections may take the form of
war veterans’ first-hand oral histories, memoirs, collections of original photographs and letters, dia-
ries, and other historical documents from World War I through the present.
The Frederick County Veterans History Project (an activity under the auspices of the Federal Li-
brary of Congress) has been active since 2002. We have recorded interviews with several hun-
dred veterans here in the county, most notably focusing on survivors of World War II and Korea.
These video recording are stored in the Maryland Room of the Burr Artz Public Library in down-
town Frederick as well as being on file with the Library of Congress. We are very interested in con-
tinuing this historical activity to record individual histories from more recent service. If you are will-
ing to be interviewed, or are simply interested in finding out more about the program, please con-
tact Jim Hubbard at 240-578-4961 or on e-mail at jandshubbard@comcast.net. Additionally, we
are also very interested in recruiting additional interviewers and will be happy to offer training for
that task.10
