On Tuesday, August 22, 2023, two men from the Carrington community, Tom Sauby and Ryan Zink, were elected as Commander and Adjutant of John Raymond O'Hara American Legion Post 25.
As many of you know, the meeting was called to discuss whether or not to close the post due to lack of active members. Several American Legion leaders from across the state came to offer their suggestions/support because they didn't want to see Post 25 close.
The closure would have affected many important events/activities which we take for granted in Carrington, such as American Legion baseball, Veterans Day and Memorial Day festivities, placing flags in the Carrington cemetery, providing education scholarships and more.
Also, the American Legion Auxiliary ladies who are very active in supporting veterans' issues and organizing community events, would also have had to close.
Hopefully, Carrington folks will show their appreciation to newly-elected Commander Tom Soube and Adjutant Ryan Zink for being willing to take over the important responsibility of managing Post 25. Because of them, Carrington can continue to benefit from and look forward to so many worthwhile Legion activities.
(Way to go, Tom and Ryan!)
