- 3rd Tuesday, 6:30 PM
LtGen Lewis B Puller #890. Its detachment has met since 1977 — Winchester, VA. 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.
People point to the detachment for the Memorial Day observance and for the quieter help that never makes a program — Winchester. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
The meeting line says 3rd Tuesday, 6:30 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 — Winchester, VA.
