QUARTERLY REPORTER
The New Year is quickly approaching and as with everything else the new year is bringing on a new change which we think will make it easier for everyone.
As many of you know Club 38 Bar & Grill is located within the Appleton American Legion Post 38. While these two entities operate independently most of the time, it has become apparent, having a centralized location for information is paramount for getting maximum coverage and page participation.
So, effective the new year, we will slowly begin the migration of Club 38's page with the Post 38 page. Quite frankly, this is a marriage made in heaven! Two great places coming together for ONE page for information!
What will this accomplish? This will allow ALL the happenings of the Club to be in one central location and therefore will eliminate the duplication of efforts by both the Club Manager running her own page and of course me, managing the Post 38 page. One place for all the information you need pertaining not only to the Post information, but Club 38 Bar and Grill as well.
We think you are going to love this marriage and will enjoy the ease of having to go to only one place to get all your information.
Please be patient with us as we make this happen. We promise you’re going to like it. Happy New Year from Appleton American Legion Post 38 and Club 38 Bar & Grill.

SEPTEMBER POST MEETING
On Wednesday, September 4, 2024, the Appleton American Legion Post 38 had the distinct honor of presenting Ms. Diane MacDonald, Executive Director, Old Glory Honor Flight (OGHF) in Appleton, WI with a check for $7,500 to fly veterans to their national memorials in Washington, DC.
Diane has been with the Old Glory Honor Flight for over 15 years, and she recalled her first encounter with American Legion Post 38. MacDonald related how the partnership with Post 38 began with a small “$10.00 donation.” Diane recalled that donation during her visit to the Post, “…wasn’t what I expected, but OK, it’s a start.”
That initial donation set the wheels in motion for Post 38 to do more. Answering the call to service in supporting fellow veterans, our partnership with Old Glory Honor Flight over the years has expanded significantly in raising funds so veterans can take their trips to their memorials. The Appleton Community has equally supported Post 38 in accomplishing its goals, and this years’ Brat Fry Extravaganza on August 21, 2024, raised an impressive $7,500.
Since its inception, the Old Glory Honor Flight has flown 7,000 veterans to see their memorial in Washington DC. The first veterans flown out of the Fox Valley in 2009 were World War II veterans. Sadly, due to delays in constructing their memorial, many of these same veterans did not have the opportunity to see the memorials dedicated to their service. Additionally, the chaperones who accompanied these veterans were Vietnam veterans, and they wanted to ensure the WWII veterans saw their memorial before it was too late.
On June 6, 2024, Old Glory Honor Flight, working in conjunction with American Airlines, flew sixty-eight veterans to Normandy, for the D-Day remembrance event. As Diane stated, “the average age of these veterans was 100.”
Currently, OGHF is looking for Korean and Vietnam veterans to place them on the flight wait list. Any honorably discharged veteran, regardless of where they served (overseas or stateside), whose service is prior to May 7, 1975, can apply to be placed on the list for their flight. This year, on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, the Old Glory Honor Flight will fly Mission 70.
Ms. MacDonald informed Post 38 members during the membership meeting, with the $7,500 donation, it will allow fifteen veterans to fly free of charge to Washington, DC to see their memorials. Post 38 is extremely grateful to its members for their hard work and the many hours of dedication in making this year’s Brat Fry a tremendous success. We are equally humbled for the support of the Appleton community who came out in mass supporting the American Legion Post 38 family, and all the wonderful partners who made this year’s event an enormous success.

-End-
We would like to give special recognition to our partners this year including: The Community Blood Center (Every Drop Counts-Donate Blood Campaign), Fox Valley Humane Association (Pet Adoption Awareness Campaign), Y100 WNCY and 93.5 Duke FM - Wisconsin, all who made this year’s event most memorable.
Your support of our Brat Fry was overwhelming, and we are happy to announce we not only met last year’s funds of $6500, but we exceeded it, by raising $7,500 for the Old Glory Honor Flight. We will be presenting this organization with a check during our September meeting.
We are so proud to be an integral part of the Appleton Community and your support as always, is greatly appreciated – Thank you!
