Welcome to February. Hope everyone is having a great new year so far. I don't have much to repost on this month. It's pretty quiet around here this time of year. We do have some new drink specials and nightly events we recently started. So stop by and check these out. We still have happy hour during all UK games. We are still seeing new faces in the post so please welcome these new members to Post 31. Now I would like to thank the Ladies Auxiliary SAL and Riders for all the help and support they have given Post 31. Keep up the good work. Everyone keep supporting the Post because it's you the members who keep the doors open.

We are working on getting some great prizes to give away and some even better prizes to auction off that night at our dinner dance.
We have already received 2 autographed CD's from country music star Michael Peterson and hope to be getting more great items from the stars to auction.
Also, we intend to have a swap meet in the parking this summer, so if you have old parts you want to sell get them out and ready.
If you have a motorcycle and love to ride come join us. "Lets Ride". Our meetings are the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7pm. Everyone is welcome.

Did you know?
February 3, 1943 - An extraordinary act of heroism occurred in the icy waters off Greenland after the U.S. Army transport ship Dorchester was hit by a German torpedo and began to sink rapidly. When it became apparent there were not enough life jackets, four U.S. Army chaplains on board removed theirs, handed them to frightened young soldiers, and chose to go down with the ship while praying.

February 9, 1943 - During World War II in the Pacific, U.S. troops captured Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands after six months of battle, with 9,000 Japanese and 2,000 Americans killed.

February 23, 1942 - During World War II, the first attack on the U.S. mainland occurred as a Japanese submarine shelled an oil refinery near Santa Barbara, California, causing minor damage

February 23, 1991 - In Desert Storm, the Allied ground offensive began after a devastating month-long air campaign targeting Iraqi troops in both Iraq and Kuwait.

February 27, 1991 - In Desert Storm, the 100-hour ground war ended as Allied troops entered Kuwait just four days after launching their offensive against Saddam Hussein's Iraqi forces.
