Post Dining Room

Effective January 4, 2012 the post dining room will be open until 8:30 pm on Wednesday and Friday evenings.

Post 5265 is an All-State Post

Once again we are an All-State post. This is a great accomplishment and a testament to the hard work put in by all the Veterans who regularly attend our post and district meetings. Of the more than 500 posts in the State of Pennsylvania, only 35 posts made All-State this year. We could not have done this without the dedication of our members.

Post Newsletters Provided Online

Beginning in January 2012, the quarterly newsletter will no longer be mailed to members, but instead will be available electronically online. Members will be able to access the newsletter on the post website or on Facebook. Printed copies of the newsletter will also be available at the bar and in the dining room.

Flags are available for purchase at the post in the following sizes:

12" x 18" Grave Marker Flags
3' x 5' Exterior Nylon Flag

Flags may be purchased at the bar anytime the post is open or in the dining room on Wednesday and Friday nights. Please contact the post Steward or the Quartermaster to order service flags or other flags not listed.

Unserviceable flags may be dropped off at our Post for proper disposal.
