The 2014 Legion Birthday Supper was well attended with the usual great food prepared by the Auxiliary. The focus was to honor the memory of Past Commander Adfer Tenan’s role in getting the Machias Veteran’s Home established. Chaplain Ray Antunes built a beautiful case to permanently display the golden shovel used by Adfer and his widow Lois for the ground breaking ceremony. Lois and the family were in attendance to dedicate the case and shovel. The late Kay Flynn’s family was there to be recognized with Kay’s WWII Service certificate and a WWII Victory Medal Coin. Pearl Harbor Survivor, Bob Coles of Machias was also recognized with a WWII Victory Medal Coin.
