In recognition of VFW Post 7327’s cooperation with the West Springfield High School (WSHS) Military Ambassadors Club (MAC), VFW Post 7327 participated in a monthly MAC meeting at WSHS on Thursday, 11 May.  The MAC meeting began with a very interesting student presentation on the history of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. We sincerely appreciated everyone’s assistance and Comrades Marty Holland and Junior Vice Commander Jim Ellet enjoyed the opportunity to express our gratitude to the WSHS volunteers for their hard work in front of their peers and faculty sponsors. 

Comrade Marty Holland presented the MAC students with a VFW Certificate of Appreciation and a ceremonial check acknowledging their participation in this spring’s (15 April 2023) Adopt-A-Highway event.  Four students and one adult volunteer from the WSHS MAC joined VFW Post 7327 and Auxiliary members in cleaning up our designated portion of road.  Thanks in large part to the energy and enthusiasm of the volunteers from WSHS MAC we completed the task to a very high standard.  This was a great opportunity for members of the Post and Auxiliary to work alongside the WSHS volunteers to make sure that our stretch of the Franconia-Springfield Parkway, to include the Veterans of Foreign Wars Bridge, was “standing tall and looking good” for Memorial Day 2023.
