Our Squadron is proud to have one of the largest memberships in the Department of Virginia. We are very active both within our Post and within the community. Our efforts have been recognized by the Department of Virginia by our receipt of numerous certificates, plaques and ribbons. Our most recent achievement was winning the 2010-11 Americanism Award for Squadron's our size. Squadron 176 is proud to have had our Adjutant and Past Commander, Chip Byers, serve as SAL Detachment of Virginia Commander for the Year 2010-11.
For the past several years the Squadron has been responsible for planning and presenting the Post 176 Flag Day ceremony in coordination with our Sponsored Boy Scout Troop. Our programs have included all members of the Legion family including many children. The programs have consisted of inspirational readings, poetry and music.
\We raise significant funds through the sale of White House Christmas Ornaments. This is an annual fund-raising project. Funds generated by SAL activities are donated to several worthy charities, Boys and Girls State programs, and Veterans organizations in need. Our Squadron is active in assisting with all Post activities including Halloween, Christmas, and Easter parties for the children; Bingo; the Annual Open House; the Annual Poppy drive; the annual Post picnic; and other major Post activities.
We are an active Squadron and always have a great time. We hope you will come and join us at any or all of the above activities. We can always use more help, and we always welcome new members.
