Our Post In Action

Fort Hill Post American Legion, Legion Auxiliary, Sons of the American Legion, Girls and Boy Scouts, a guest 4-H club from Guilford, and many citizens turned out in the bitter cold, to remember Veteran's Day for it's true meaning, on the Village Green in Oxford. Guest speaker at the ceremony was Laurence Wilcox, also a veteran, and a member of Fort Hill Post 376.

Al Gordon, Post Chaplain posted a wreath of remembrance, and retired teacher from Oxford Academy, Richard Herfort, led the group in rendition of God Bless America. Master of ceremonies was Patricia Marso, WWll and officer in the American Legion, and Color Guard Commander was Paul Estelow.

Following the ceremonies, all participants and the public were invited to the Post Home for refreshments, where hot soup, coffee and cocoa were all most welcome.
