In our busy and hectic lives, time is always a state-ment away. Phrases consume us with “what time is it, in the good ole summertime, what do you do with your time”. Focus on few things and realize
what time has done.
How many of our members recall the time of the great Depression. Coming out of the depression to the time of a World War. How did you spend your time when in the 1940’s you were ages 17 to 22? Did you spend your time in Europe or in the far east Indian Ocean or do some Asian island hopping? The Greatest Gener-ation experienced not the greatest times but deserve our greatest honor.
No sooner are those WW II Veterans home than another war is entitled the Forgotten War. A foreign country is divided as North and South. Something that will bring another war in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Some will say the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s are the most intriguing, memorable times for our nation. It was the best and worst of times. After a World War that touched all points of the earth, the Korean War could have brought on WW 3. The children of the early 50’s recall “duck & cover”, air raid drills in school and home bomb shelters. But the best of times also came to us in the 50’s. Television with knobs which came in two colors - black & white. If you were lucky you had a converter box and had 3 channels! We watched the greatest football ever with our New York Giants and Baltimore Colts. We’ve seen the Yankees control baseball and some of the greats of the
sport – Mantle, Mays, the Duke, Ted Williams, Hank Aaron. Some of the greatest sports legends of our time were also part of the Greatest Generation. Some of these same people in the 50’s drove cars that have been called the greatest cars of all time. We had eight years of a President who led the charge to save the world in 1944. Times were simpler, maybe at times ques-tionable, but the 50’s brought us a nation built by the Veterans of WW II & Korea. Thank you is mild com-pared to what you really deserve from your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Forward to the troubled times of the 60’s. Our institu-tions are coming apart, grim reminders that evil exists but great people rise up in troubled times. The tele-vision brings the 6 o’clock war for discussion at the dinner table. Many displayed their frustrations and our troops fought two wars – one in a country we have trouble pronouncing and the other as the USA is di-vided. The silent majority will rise up some 10 years later in the 70’s and 80’s.

Where Did the Time Go

From The Commander
WELCOME BACK LEGIONNAIRES, Sons and Aux-iliary members! It’s hard to believe that Summer is over and Fall is upon us! It was a good Summer at
YOUR Nathaniel Adams Blanchard American Legion Post 1040 and I truly hope your Summer was as well. A lot of exciting things happening at YOUR Post. September will get us off to a great year.
First, I want to invite all of you to our Welcome Back Party on Sunday, September 13th. 5:00pm / 17:00 for you mili-tary types. It will be a great time to see everyone at YOUR Post and mingle with your Post officers. You’ll also be able to enjoy some great food and have a beverage or two. On October 10th is the 20 week Club Dinner. We are always looking for new members to join 20 week Club. Also on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm / 19:30 we draw the Queen of hearts Tournament. As the prize gets bigger more people come out for this event.
Thanks to the Sons’ Squadron Commander and his officers and members who are working diligently with me on various activities at the Post through the coming year. I would like to thank them for buying kitchen equipment for downstairs behind the lounge hall. We are looking forward to working close with the Sons on events and improvements at the Post. The Sons are a very important part of this Post.
I would like to invite you to look at the Post’s Web site at nabpost1040.us and Facebook American Legion Post 1040 page. This is the best way to stay informed as to what and when things are happening at the Post. I am hoping to cut the number of 1040s we print and mail thus saving the Post money in the near future. Also we have started a LIFT A VET page on Gofundme.com and are hoping to collect money to put an elevator in the existing building to improve accessibility for the upstairs and down stairs, this will help all that use the building going forward. And it may help us attract new members that have returned with mobility issues from the last two Wars.
Again, THANKS! To all for the hard work at making this a great Post. Look forward to seeing you on Sunday, September 13th at the Welcome Back Party!!!

Sons of the Legion News
Welcome back members! I hope everyone had a safe Summer.
We had a few events in August. I hope you had a chance to attend.
As I start my third year as Command-er, I am looking forward to working with the Board of Directors and the Legion’s new Com-mander, Scott Anson. I am looking for ideas from members for new projects we can work on. I hope to see all new members at our monthly meetings.
Sincerely, Commander Levine
Legion Auxiliary News
This has been a strange Summer with many climate changes. Ex-treme heat and humidity followed
by tremendous storms. I trust you all got through it without any appreciable damage.
Good luck to our retiring Secretary, Dale Lukatschat and welcome to our new Secretary, Stephanie Mosh-er. We should have an enjoyable year.
We have been assessed 197 members this year; this is an increase of 33 members. If we all work together, maybe we can make 100% again. Dues are still $25. Please advise us of any address changes. We appre-ciate your copoeration.
A Halloween party has been scheduled for October 24, 2015. Come, enjoy and have fun!
We purchased a box of pillows from Walmart for the VA Hospital. In addition, they gave us a gift certificate and we purchased a second box. It feels so good to be able to double our gifts to the VA Hospital for the items they need.
The Auxiliary is always looking for yarn lap top robes, pillow covers, aluminum pull tabs, manufacturers’ coupons, box tops for education, cancelled stamps and items for the soldier boxes. Keep up the good work and let’s have a successful year!

The featured profile for example, could spot-light a member currently serving as well as a WW II Veteran. Auxillary and SAL Members, could also contribute stories about their military relatives.
If you are interested or have suggestions, please e-mail any submissions to the 1040 Times Copy Editor Frank DeSorbo at [email protected]! We hope this will be another opportunity to highlight the outstanding membership of the Blanchard Post!! Thank you!!

From The Chairman
Around the House. Fall is upon us, with many events, starting with the Welcome Back Party Sunday, Sept. 13th. This party
is one of our best of the year. It’s a good chance to meet the officers from all three of our organizations. Please call for a reservation, as we don’t want to run out of shrimp.
There are still a couple of rooms left for our Mohegan Sun overnight trip Oct. 3rd and 4th. See our display ad.
The Board of Directors made 2 appoint-ments at the July meeting. Scott An-son will be The House Chairman, and George Lendhardt will be Chairman of the Queen of Hearts Tournament. The best of luck to both Scott and George in their new positions.
Watch your e-mails and Ten Forty Times for upcoming events. Hope to see you at the Welcome Back Party!
