​Duffy-Wescott Post 85 News

We're in the process of repairing and updating our 190 year-old building, to include: brick grouting, buttress reconstruction, windows, front portico, foundation and more. The interior will be SOON! We also have an architect and structural engineer on the job for the foundation and other details and we'd like to thank everyone that  has contributed to help make this happen - with more to come!

Are you planning a Veteran's funeral?
Please take advantage of Bugles Across America at: https://www.buglesacrossamerica.org/ 
Taps is played for FREE and by a Real Bugler - not a recording! 
Bugles Across America was founded in 2000 when Congress passed legislation stating that Veterans have a right to at least two uniformed military people to fold the flag and play Taps on a CD player. Bugles Across America was founded to recognize that the service of Veterans deserved a live rendition of Taps by a real bugler.
