Membership supports our Post to help our Veterans. We here at the Merrick Post No. 1282 make visits with gifts and supplies to many veterans at the nursining homes of Stony Brook and Northport. We support many civil gourps, including Boys and Girls Scout troops. We are stronger with you than without you.

For any reason you feel you do not want to be a member any longer, please send back my note with a reason and maybe I could be of help in some way.
