If you can’t get there that early, please be in place in the Chapel with your flag no later than 8:30 a.m. These interments are for Nevada’s fallen Veterans who are without family, are homeless, indigent, or just forgotten by family and friends, and their remains are unclaimed.

We have been invited to this birthday party by his daughter Nancy. Vince was the WW11 veteran and a POW that was written about in the RJ for Memorial Day. His daughter has invited all veterans to this party , because Vince will be 100 on Sept 19, 2016. So spread the word to all veterans. I will be there for sure since my dad was liberated from the same POW camp on April 30, 1945. The media will also be there for this event. So lets rally the troops. The time is 3pm to 6pm on Monday September 19. Location is

Shooting Complex Rifle/Pistol Range for a social gathering

A group of us Vets are getting together this coming Saturday September 17, 2016 at the Clark County Shooting Complex Rifle/Pistol Range for a social gathering.  We call it a fun shoot. This is not an official Post 76 function and no money whatsoever is used from the Post funds. We routinely get together with others from the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapters 17 and 1076, and sometimes local VFW Posts and active duty airmen from Creech and Nellis if they are not on duty. 

It is not a competition just a group of friends going out on a Saturday morning to share each other’s guns and war stories while putting little holes in paper targets.  We will get together in the parking lot at 8:00 AM SHARP so we can go in together and get stands near each other.  You can stay as long as you want, but many of us are pure tuckered out by 10:30 - 11 AM.

If you don’t own a gun, not to worry, we have plenty and are just out for a fun morning.  If you have friends that are not Vets, no problem, the more the merrier.  If you have never been there before show up at least 15-20 minutes early to get a safety briefing that is good forever.  If you are interested, please call Roger Henning at [702]595-1795 so we can arrange to meet at the rifle range.  It is way up at the top of the hill in the complex.  There are a number of other specialty ranges after you enter the complex, but keep going up the hill and around the last roundabout until you see a parking lot and hear gunfire.  Hope to see you there. 

The cost and location is below. 

Adult Line Fee $9.00

Junior Line Fee (under 18) NO FEE

Rifle/Pistol Shooting Card $90.00

(Pre-paid pass – Buy 10 line fees, get 12 visits)
