- Cape Girardeau, MO
- 3rd Thursday, 7:00 PM
Cpl Mason O Yarbrough #1081. Its detachment has met since 1973 — Cape Girardeau, MO. The charter came in the years after the Second World War and Korea, and the members who stayed treated the monthly meeting as a standing promise: show up, look after one another, and leave the town a little better.
Over the years the detachment has taken on the jobs a town actually asks for: rides to a clinic, a meal after a funeral, help with a ramp, a speaker for a school program. The members keep a notebook of what got done and what is still open, and they read it aloud before the meeting adjourns.
The regular meeting is 3rd Thursday, 7:00 PM. Anyone planning to visit should confirm the night before they come, because a funeral detail or a weather delay can move it. Between meetings the members stay in touch the old way: at the hall, and through the officers listed on this sample site — Cape Girardeau, MO.

What the notebook says so far
Late summer the detachment looked back at the notebook.

This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — Cape Girardeau, MO.
