SEPTEMBER 16
Is
American Legion Day
On August 3, 1958 - the U.S. nuclear submarine Nautilus accomplishes the first undersea voyage to the geographic North Pole. The world's first nuclear submarine, the Nautilus dived at Point Barrow, Alaska, and traveled nearly 1,000 miles under the Arctic ice cap to reach the top of the world. It then steamed on to Iceland, pioneering a new and shorter route from the Pacific to the Atlantic and Europe.
On August 6, 1945 - at 8:16 a.m. Japanese time, an American B-29 bomber, the Enola Gay, drops the world's first atom bomb, over the city of Hiroshima. Approximately 80,000 people are killed as a direct result of the blast, and another 35,000 are injured. At least another 60,000 would be dead by the end of the year from the effects of the fallout.
August 7 - is Purple Heart Day
On August 21, 1959 - the modern United States receives its crowning star when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signs a proclamation admitting Hawaii into the Union as the 50th state. The president also issued an order for an American flag featuring 50 stars arranged in staggered rows: five six-star rows and four five-star rows. The new flag became official July 4, 1960.

FROM YOU SERVICE OFFICER’s DESK
Hello Post 36 members,
I would like to introduce myself for those who have not met me. My name is Angel Contreras and I am your designated Post 36 Service Officer. I proudly served my country while enlisted in the U.S. Army and since leaving the military I have done what I could to serve my fellow veterans. I was extremely happy when I was invited to become part of the William C. Morris Post 36 American Legion family. I immediately felt right at home and have since made many friends. Every month I will do my best to bring to your attention any information that may benefit you or that I feel is very important for you to know, and If you need my help; I will do my best to provide you with the best possible assistance I can provide you with.
Angel Contreras, VSO
