Our new Post does not have a permanent Post building or clubroom, as we meet monthly at the Frisco Senior Center through the generosity of the Frisco City Council. We attribute this wonderful generosity to the great partnership and friendship developed with the Frisco Council prior to our initiation. We have a wide range of members from all branches of service. Our members service ranges from World War II to our youngest member, a 27 year old Marine who recently served in Afghanistan and Iraq. Additionally, two Frisco City Council Members are in our post.
