Merrick Post No. 1282, American Legion, receives a Mail/Flag Box from the Town of Hempstead
On the Night of March 7, 2013 or in the early morning of March 8, 2013, a vehicle drove through the front property of the Merrick Post No. 1282, American Legion, damaging the Post's Mail Box, which we use to store old U.S. flags that need to be disposed of.
No commentsA new beginning.... Hello World!!!
Hi folks,
Well, this is my first live attempt at starting a new website for the post. I hope you like it, and hopefully, I can improve on the website. The site is based mostly on Joomla which is a content management system. Joomla basically gives you their basic templates with a number of features which are free and then their are vendors who have "third" party extensions that are "free" or you have to buy a "subsriptions" to make the site more functional. Joomla is based on open source code, to find out more about joomla click or visit this link (http://www.joomla.org/about-joomla.html). I like free stuff so I am basically using extensions that are free, with a little code (php, html, javascript) mixed in.

On April 19 2012, Past Nassau County Commander, Past Post Commander, Post Adjutant and above all our friend, Robert Tom Riordan, passed away due to cancer. He was 82 years old. Robert Tom Riordan was one of the driving forces behind Merrick Post No. 1282, American Legion, activities and events. If you had a project or idea you wanted to do with the Post, Tom Riordan was one of the guys you would seek to get your project or idea going. He headed up many of the projects, events and activities at the Post, and he recruited a great deal of members for the Post. He was a tireless promoter of the Merrick Post No. 1282, American Legion and sought to make this organization better. Our condolences go out to his wife, Marge Riordan, his children and grand children. He will be missed.
