Greetings from the Commander
I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday and that this coming New Year brings you happiness and
prosperity.
Our Annual Thanksgiving Dinner went well. We served well over fifty dinners and quite a bit of money was raised for Fisher House. Thank you to all the volunteers for making it such a success. It is very gratifying work and everyone seemed to enjoy their day.
On December 12, 2014 after hosting dinner for the Tiger Scouts and their families, a few of our Legionnaires sat down to be interviewed by the young Scouts for one of their organization’s projects. The Legionnaires talked about their lives “back then” compared to “life now” and what changes they foresee in the
future. Many thanks to Fred Bumgarner, Les Griffith, Rob Sybert, and Don Delaney for a “Job Well Done!”
On a side note, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of each and every one of us doing our part
and volunteering when needed. With everyone contributing to the continued success of Post 206, hopefully
2015 will be a prosperous year.
In closing, please pray for all the brave men and women and their families who are still actively serving this great Country, both here and abroad. They are our freedom. God bless them all.
For God and Country,
Charles E. Choux

1st VICE COMMANDER’S MESSAGE
MEMBERSHIP COUNTS!!!!
The life blood of any organization is membership. This is particularly true of the American Legion.
Not only are a lot of our older members passing away, there are a lot of younger ones not renewing their
memberships. What the reasons are for the latter are varied. Some of our active duty members get transferred,
some don’t get renewal notices and some just don’t get what the Legion is all about and what benefits accompany membership. I don’t know the answers to why some don’t renew. But I do know that each and every
member must reach out and recruit new members and get our existing ones to renew.
With this in mind, I would like to have each one of us to carry a Legion application in your car or your
wallet. There is also an excellent brochure called, “Why You Should Belong”. I also urge you pick up one or
two of these and keep them handy. Imagine if each one of us could recruit one new member! We could double
the size of the Post in one year!
Please keep in mind that we NEED new members to continue to exist as a healthy, growing Post.
Also, please keep the Active Duty personnel in your thoughts and prayers. They are putting their lives
on the line to keep this the greatest nation on earth.
For God and Country.
Jack Custis
FROM THE DESK OF THE ADJUTANT
MEMBERSHIP UPDATE
As 2014 comes to a close I want to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR. Your Legion Post continues to work for Veterans, our community, and the area youth. From hosting Charlotte Hall veterans to working to support Toys for Tots, our post is about making a difference in this community, state and nation.
It is my hope the members will take as a New Year’s resolution time to make a commitment to become
involved and take a more active role in supporting the many programs of the American Legion. With close to
900 members, if each person volunteered to support one activity so much more could be accomplished. Don’t
wait for someone to ask for your help. PLEASE VOLUNTEER.
Membership is slightly behind pace to make goal. Thank you one and all who have sent in your renewal early. So far we have 612 into Department. This puts us at 70% of our goal of 873 members. NOW is
the TIME to GET your RENEWAL IN.
Yours in Legion Service,
Robert K. Sybert, Adjutant

GREETINGS FROM THE AUXILIARY PRESIDENT
Well, I sure hope your holidays were as good as mine. When I think of all the preparation to get ready
for Christmas and it’s over in 30 minutes, it’s crazy, but when I watch my grandchildren’s faces while they
open their presents together it’s worth it.
This year we will be facing new challenges to meet the needs of our veterans and families. This past
year we sent shoe boxes to our troops abroad and new coats and clothes to our veterans in the VA hospitals,
and now we are going to be working with the U.S.O.
After our short break from the kitchen diners, we will be starting up breakfast the 2nd Sunday of the
month. We are going to try Italian nights on some of the Tuesdays…?
If you would like to volunteer to help cook, or maybe even be the chef of a dinner, call me, my number
is on the back of the newsletter and you know we always need desserts for Tuesday and Friday night dinners.
Refer to the Auxiliary bulletin board for more information.
For God and Country,
Your President Judi Granados
AUXILIARY MEMBERSHIP
It’s hard to believe this administrative year is half over! Thanks to all who have paid their
2015 dues. We are just about 75% of our goal of 431 members, so if you have not paid your 2015
dues, please do so as soon as possible, as it is only through your generous support that we are able to
maintain all of our programs to the community, our youth and our Veterans. Senior dues are $25 and
Junior dues are $5. Please make your checks payable to ALA 206 and either leave with the bartender
at the Post or mail to ALA 206, P. O. Box 353, Chesapeake Beach, MD 20732. In order to receive
your new door card, you will need to present your 2015 membership card.
Door cards can be obtained at any of our Auxiliary functions (our breakfast on the 2nd Sunday
of the month, our January 20 general meeting, our dinners on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday or the 3rd Friday). Unfortunately, we are unable to mail the new door cards, so hopefully you can pick it up at one
of our many events. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks for your support!

Greetings from the SAL Commander
I hope this report finds you with great memories of the past holiday season.
The SAL has been busy as usual with the typical holiday events in and around
the Post. We assisted the Ladies Auxiliary with a luncheon at the Post for the Charlotte Hall veterans. At that
function the SAL provided a lasagna lunch with all the sides. We also presented the Hall staff that were present with personal items to distribute to the veterans this holiday season. The gifts included T-Shirts, wallets,
sweat pants (male and female), handkerchiefs, pajama bottoms, etc. I am very proud of our membership for
our participation in this very worthy endeavor. The veterans and the staff thanked everyone for a great event.
During our December meeting the membership approved donations to Toys for Tots Program, Children’s Christmas Party, Young Marines, Nam Knights and the Swanson Foundation. All of these programs
provide essential support to our local community programs. The SAL Membership totals are 211 paid for 2015
with 244 being our goal. If you haven’t paid your dues please do so ASAP. We want to continue with the
spirit of donating to community based charities. Please check the Events Calendar for upcoming dinners and
special events. Membership meetings are the 2nd. Tuesday of each month at 7PM. We look forward to seeing
you there. Thanks and see ya at the Post.
In Truth and Unity, God Bless America
James F. Ward, SAL Commander

News from our Post and Members
In this Newsletter I’d like to include a brief profile of one of our Ladies Auxiliary members who has
contributed so much to our organization and has deep roots to our history.
CLARA MAE BUCKMASTER
Interviewed December 9, 2014
Clara Mae Stallings was born in North Beach on February 24, 1937, the daughter of Wallace and Sadie
Stallings. As a child she remembers the air raid sirens and drills that took place during World War II and how
they would have to put up black curtains in the windows during the blackouts. Her father was stationed at Fort
Meade during the war. She clearly remembers the grieving that accompanied the death of her uncle, Private
James. F. Stallings, who was killed when his aircraft was shot down over Holland in 1944. Clara Mae is very
proud of the role her parents played in 1946 as charter members of Post 206, and in the naming honor bestowed on her uncle for his ultimate sacrifice. Noting that her parents were very active in Post activities, she
said she often babysat so they could participate.
In 1955 Clara Mae married James Buckmaster and they eventually had six children. Today she has six
grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Her husband was the Fire Chief of North Beach Volunteer Fire
Department and in her 56 years of volunteering for the NBVFD, Clara Mae has held many of the offices including that of Chaplain several times. She is most proud of her time as the Maryland State VFD Ladies Auxiliary President, in which role she traveled throughout Maryland, meeting other fire department volunteers.
Her husband, who worked for the town of North Beach as a sanitation engineer, died of a heart attack
in 1970, leaving Clara Mae with six children aged 19 months to 14 years old. She somehow managed to raise
the children and still be involved in volunteer activities throughout the community. Clara Mae said she tended
bar, was a waitress, and even cleaned Post Offices on weekends to make ends meet. She also worked for the
Calvert County Health Department for more than 20 years. Having quit school in the 11th grade to get a job to
help her family, she proudly earned her GED at the age of 36.
Clara Mae is full of stories about the beach communities. She noted that back in the 40’s and 50’s the
area was packed with tourists from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The dance halls, boardwalks, bars, and slot
machine parlors attracted crowds, as did the amusement park on the hill above the Rod ‘N Reel. She remembers the steamships docking in Chesapeake Beach and the motorcyclists that always seemed to be in the area.
One story she told me was about the large Christmas tree that would be placed at the intersection of Third
Street and Bay Avenue (Route 261) in North Beach each holiday season. The power for the tree was provided
by Grunds Drug Store, which was on the first floor of the Miramar Hotel. A town native, she sadly relates,
drove into the Christmas tree one year after having one too many at a local watering hole.
We at Post 206 are most grateful for Clara Mae’s 26 years of service to the Ladies Auxiliary. In that
time she has served in many capacities, including as President for a term of five years, and as Chaplain several
times, including her current stint in that position. She says she is most proud of the 50th Anniversary of the
Post 206 Ladies Auxiliary which was held in 1996 when she was President. Clara Mae said the Post didn’t
have much money back then, but due to the dedicated volunteers they were able to put on a great event that
was attended by most of the former Auxiliary presidents. There wasn’t enough money to provide real corsages for the guests, so one of the ladies made beautiful paper napkin corsages.
Current activities of the Auxiliary that Clara Mae enjoys are the monthly visits to the V.A. Hospital in
D.C., and the Charlotte Hall veterans’ visits here at the Post home, where they are served lunch and get to socialize. She emphasizes “I always remember there is no ’I” in ‘team’ - it takes us all!”
Clara Mae reminds me of the Energizer Bunny. Most who know her are amazed at her capacity to juggle multiple volunteer jobs with no apparent need to come up for air. Her enthusiasm is infectious and she is a
treasure to those who are fortunate enough to be in her orbit. As we ended our talk, she said she had just finished serving as the Grand Marshall for the North Beach Christmas Parade. You go girl !

MORE UNTOLD STORIES
Fred Bumgarner, Editor
In the process of helping the adjutant clean up some old membership files, as I reviewed piles of DD-214’s and
honorable discharge certificates for those who have gone to the post everlasting or have not renewed their memberships,
I was struck by the untold stories contained on those pieces of paper. While most of us performed our honorable military service in fairly routine and unexceptional circumstances, others were involved in activities that resonate a little
more strongly in the historical narrative of our conflicts. Below are some additional “stories” gleaned from those records. As in previous issues, I’ll keep the names anonymous, but know that these former Post 206 members’ service—
whether routine or heroic— are part of the fabric of our organization and its’ heritage.
- I was a World War II veteran who served in the Army as an infantry private from May 1942 until
September 1943. I was born in Chesapeake Beach and was a truck driver before the war. I was 22 years old
when inducted and was wounded in combat at Fondouk, Tunisia, in North Africa. I was honorably discharged
from Woodrow Wilson US Army General Hospital near Staunton, VA. (Editor’s note: the hospital at Staunton had just opened in September 1943 as a rehabilitation facility for wounded soldiers. An eyewitness at the
time described the arrival of the wounded soldiers who came by train from the port of Hampton Roads, VA.
“They would bring in the wounded soldiers on Sunday at 9 p.m. at night. They blocked Route 250 and loaded
them in lines of ambulances and took them to the hospital. No traffic was allowed through until they were finished. I sat down there and watched them many a time.”)
- I was a World War II veteran. I served in the Navy from 1938 to 1945 as a machinist mate. Before
the war I was a messenger for the American Red Cross in Washington, D.C. After the war I wanted to work
for the Post Office. I served on several vessels including the USS Goff (DD-247). (Editor’s note: On May
24, 1942 the Goff picked up 48 survivors from the American tanker Samuel Q. Brown that was torpedoed and
sunk the previous day by German U-boat U-103 about 100 miles south of Cape Corrientes, Cuba)
- I was a World War II veteran. I served in the Army Air Corps as a private from June 1942 until December 1945. I was an airplane engine mechanic with the 1264th Army AFB Unit. My awards included the
Good Conduct Medal, WWII Victory Ribbon, American Theater Service Ribbon, and the European-AfricanMiddle East Ribbon. (Editor’s note: the 1264th conducted aircraft ferrying operations from Cairo, Egypt, to
supply the British 8th Army and Desert Air Force with Lend-Lease aircraft and supplies, and later to ferry aircraft to Russia and India)
- I was a World War II veteran. I served in the Army infantry from December 1943 until January
1946. I was from Mars, PA. I was a private and parachute packer with the 30th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd
Division. I participated in the Southern France and Rhineland campaigns. My awards included the Purple
Heart, Good Conduct Medal, European-African-Middle East Theater Medal, the Victory Medal, and I wore
the Combat Infantry Badge. (Editor’s note: During Operation Anvil, the invasion of southern France, which
occurred in August and September 1944, the 30th Infantry Regiment suffered 457 casualties, 95 killed and 345
wounded, 17 MIAs)

- I was a Korean war veteran.
I served as an Army sergeant from September 1948 to May 1952. Before the war I worked as a chauffeur in Washington, D.C. I attended basic airborne training at Ft. Benning,
GA. My awards included the Bronze Star (with Valor), United Nations Service Medal, the Korean Service
Medal and the Parachute Badge.
- I was a Marine veteran who served from 1958 to 1964. I was a sergeant and worked as a supply clerk
at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, NC. I was from West Beach, Calvert County. My awards included
the Good Conduct Medal and I was rated as a Rifle Expert and Pistol Marksman.
- I was a Vietnam era veteran. I served a 25-year career in the Air Force and retired in August 1977 as
a senior master sergeant (SMSgt) manpower management superintendent with the 4228th Strategic Wing at
Columbus AFB, MS. My decorations included the AF Good Conduct Medal with 4 oak leaf clusters, the AF
Longevity Service Medal with silver oak leaf cluster, and the Meritorious Service Medal. (Editor’s note: the
4228th was part of the Strategic Air Command and flew B-52 bombers and KC-135 tankers as part of the
SAC’s mission to maintain aircraft on 15-minute alert, fully fueled and ready for combat)
- I was a Vietnam veteran. I served in the Army and was drafted in November 1968. I was discharged
in June 1970, as a Specialist 5 legal clerk. I was from Washington, D.C. I was stationed with the 1st Army
Logistics Command in Vietnam. My awards included the Bronze Star, Vietnam Service and Vietnam Campaign Medals, the Army Commendation Medal, and the Good Conduct Medal. (Editor’s note: the 1st Log
was activated in Saigon in April 1965 and became the largest Army organization in Vietnam growing to over
50,000 personnel. According to the Army Quartermaster Museum “almost every piece of Army equipment
sent to Vietnam was processed, transported, issued, and maintained by the 1st Log.”)
- I was a WWII Navy veteran from Moline, Illinois, serving from September 1943 until December
1945. Before the war I was a sheet metal worker. When discharged I was a Metalsmith 1st Class. My assignments included the 106th and 58th Naval Construction Battalions. I also worked as a bulldozer operator and a
barber. My awards included the American Area, Asiatic-Pacific, and Victory Medals.
- I was a Cold War veteran serving with the Air Force as an airman second class from May 1960 until
February 1964. I was a morse code intercept operator with the 6945th Security Squadron. I was born in
Latrobe, PA, and was stationed at Goodfellow AFB, San Angelo, TX.
- I was an Air Force veteran serving as a sergeant from May 1986 until September 1990. I was from
Palm Harbor, FL, and was assigned to Detachment 11, Second Weather Squadron (Military Airlift Command)
at Patrick AFB, FL. I was a weather specialist. My awards included the AF Overseas Service Short Tour Ribbon, AF Good Conduct and AF Longevity Service Awards.
- I was a Vietnam era veteran from Chesapeake Beach. I served in the Marine Corps as a sergeant
from July 1971 until June 1974. I was a mortarman and assigned to Company D, Marine Corps Security
Guard Battalion, American Embassy, Panama. My awards included the National Defense Service Medal and
the Meritorious Unit Commendation.

EAGLE CARVING DONATION
Thanks to the generosity of local artist and Post 206
member Bob Arscott, the Post has a new addition to our facility.
On October 17 a short dedication ceremony was conducted before our regular meeting at which we took formal possession of
a magnificent carved bald eagle.
Attending the ceremony with Bob were his wife, one of his three sons, and some friends.
A retired DC Metropolitan Police detective, four year Navy veteran, and Dunkirk resident, Bob
explained that his creation took more than 3000 hours of work over a three year period. He
said he has been carving wildlife for more then 40 years, and that after he entered the eagle in
the World Carving Show in Ocean City in April of this year, he knew that it was too big to
keep in his home. When Bob approached the Post with the idea of donating the eagle for display, we enthusiastically agreed. As Commander Charlie Choux remarked at the ceremony,
“The eagle is just the kind of thing to display at an American Legion post… It stands for freedom… It’s a symbol for our country and who we are.”
If you have not yet seen the carving, it is located in the entryway to the upstairs hall.
Take the time to view this wonderful creation and if you see Bob around the Post home, please
thank him for sharing his talent with us—we are truly grateful.
Check out the slide show of the dedication ceremony and a more detailed biography of
Bob on our Post 206 website— www.alpost206.org .
ROBERT JEROW, SFC
SAL Member Jerry Jerow’s son will soon be heading to
Afghanistan for his fourth deployment. We wish him a safe
journey and tour, and appreciate his service!

The film chronicles four World War II veterans from Wisconsin who are able to visit the
WWII Memorial in Washington, DC, through the generosity of Honor Flight, an organization dedicated to honoring the service of such veterans.
In a related press release, Calvert Hospice’s Executive Director Brenda Laughhunn
states “We are proud to collaborate with … Post 206 in bringing this message to our Calvert County Veterans.” Information about Post 206 and Calvert Hospice’s “We Honor
Veterans” program will be available.

OPERATION SHOE BOX
Action continues to slow down in Afghanistan, but rest assured that Rosalie will
be sending out care packages till the last one comes home or she runs out of
names to send them to.! Don’t forget to check out the list of supplies needed and
if able drop off a couple of items on the list. Know a deployed Service Member serving in a war zone?
Drop off their name, military address, when they are expected to return to the States and we will add them to
our list so they can begin to receive some of these goodies for them and their fellow servicemen and women.
Rosalie would be happy to add them to her list, she treats each one as if they where part of her family and
ours! Below are more testimonials to the effort:
On Sunday, September 28, Rosalie received a phone call from Sgt Aaron Zills, stationed in South Korea, 15 miles south of the DMZ. He said he had been in Korea for four years and would return home in December when he retires. He wanted to personally thank Rosalie and the American Legion for all the boxes
they have been receiving. He told her how much the boxes are appreciated by all the troops, adding that it
really helps boost the morale for them to receive such packages from home.
Referring to the call, Rosalie said “That was such a special call for me to have received. I was told it
was 2:15 in the morning when he was making the call… This call was such a great reward for the job I am
doing (Operation Shoe Box)...I was blessed today to have talked to one of our recipients who is defending us
and for him to call and thank the American Legion and myself.”
——————————————————————————
Oct 1, 2014 (aboard the USS George H. W. Bush, CVN-77)
“Thank you for the wonderful package, it was more than enough. There is no way to explain the excitement of receiving mail. The lotions smelled wonderful and I can’t wait to try the loofahs. I will definitely
share with all the girls in my berthing, all 50 of us. We will be returning late October / early November.
Please take me off the mailing list. I would feel horrible if I got mailed something that could have went to
somebody else who needs it. I appreciate all the care that went into this package. I know that everyone thinks
that we are heroes, but really you are too.”
Very Respectfully, ET3 Patricia Tures, USN
——————————————————————————————
Oct 2, 2014
Dear Rosalie, Thank you so much for the care packages! We can tell you put a lot of thought and effort into them. I especially like the Kind Bars and the Cave Man Bars. It’s also pretty cool that they’re from
Maryland, because I am from Maryland too! I’m from Silver Spring and we have a place in Ocean City that
we escape to whenever we get a chance. (Smiley Face). Thanks again for the support!
Love, ET3 (SW/AW) Courtney Deluca, USN
