Disney-Bell Post 66 celebrated our 70th birthday with a great dinner and program on Saturday, March 9th.

This is an annual event at the Post where we honor members who have served the Legion over the years and initiate (welcome) new members. We also take time to honor some of our veterans from Charlotte Hall Veterans Home and invite them to join us for the evening.

The Post took this opportunity to present checks to both the cub scout pack and boy scout troops we sponsor, as well as $1,500 to the Bowie Volunteer Fire Department. Several new members were installed, and we welcome them to Post 66. Newest (just signed last night) is Dennis Brady, Bowie City Councilman. That makes three councilman and the mayor as members of Post 66. Longevity pins were also awarded to members and the winner last night was Clyde Durst, who received his 55 years continuous membership pin. Department of Maryland Third Vice Commander Ed White was a special guest and he made a few appropriate remarks to everyone. As always, it was a great event.

Take a few minutes, see the pictures and see how many people you know.
