Let Us Not Forget

"The nation that forgets its defenders will be itself forgotten." -Calvin Coolidge

Buddy Poppies

In Flander's Field by John McCrae In Flanders Fields the poppies blow, Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky, The larks, still bravely singing, fly, Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago, We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved and now we lie, In Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe To you, from failing hands, we throw, The torch, be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us, who die, We shall not sleep, though poppies grow, In Flanders Fields.

Veteran Outreach

Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over 10 times the amount of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same time period, there has never been a more important time to TAKE A STAND and DO something to support our veterans!! If you or someone you know is suffering from PTSD, we have people that have shared a similar experience and are ready to help.

Membership

As yesterday's defenders of freedom, we want to welcome today's military service members into our ranks to become part of our elite group.

After three years, Walmart is leaving Tricare's pharmacy network -- a departure that pharmacy benefit manager Express Scripts says is a result of the retail giant's reluctance to offer "more highly competitive discounts" to military health beneficiaries.

Sponsor - 521 BBQ

Owner and Pit-master Mike Dial’s personal story is one that’s becoming common in the barbecue business.  Barbecue houses established during the depression or just after WWII were handed down through families.  Today, with the advent of national barbecue contests or the urging of friends and family, some amateur grill masters have converted their passion in to a business.

That is the case for Dial.  After retiring from the US Navy, he worked for a company that entertained during the Winston Cup Races.  Dial was in charge of the barbecue for these events.  "Folks started telling me how good my barbecue was and said I should start my own place,” Dial says.  So he did, partnering with brother Robert Dial and Mike Melton (no relation to the famous N.C. Melton barbecue family).  The rest is history!
