- Meeting Day/Time: 2nd Thursday, 7:00 PM
PFC James M Yancey #1390. Its detachment has met since 1988 — Paducah, KY. The charter came in the years after Vietnam and the years that followed, 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 meeting line says Meeting Day/Time: 2nd Thursday, 7:00 PM, which is the rhythm the directory lists. Come for the business, stay for the people. The portraits and the posts here are sample material, standing in until the detachment writes its own — Paducah, KY.

Notes from the first meeting
PFC James M Yancey #1390. The year opens the usual way: a short meeting, a full pot of coffee, and a list of local families the detachment already knows. The members voted to keep a Saturday of hall repairs on the calendar and to pass the word person to person — Paducah, KY.

What the notebook says so far
Late summer the detachment looked back at the notebook. The honor detail had been out more than once, the community table had fed a crowded room, and the officers reminded everyone that the next business meeting is Meeting Day/Time: 2nd Thursday, 7:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — Paducah, KY.
