The American Legion Post 227 in Shoreline will hold their monthly meeting on Tuesday evening, February 7, 2017.

The meeting will include a talk about life and duty aboard a US Navy Aircraft Carrier.

Mark Zenor, a Navy vet, will speak about his time on two Flat Tops, the USS Kitty Hawk and the USS America.

As a Flight Deck Troubleshooter, he was responsible for aircraft electrical systems. His job was to certify to the pilot that the plane was ready for flight and then turn it over to the pilot and launch crew for takeoff.

There will be time for questions at the end of his presentation.

The meeting will be held at Post 227, located at 14521 17th Ave NE, Shoreline 98155. All military veterans, their guests and all interested people in the community are welcome to attend.

A social meet and greet time is held from 6:30pm to 7:00pm. The meeting starts at 7:00pm sharp and refreshments will be served after the presentation.

Come early so you can check out the Post library that contains many militarily related books, video tapes and DVDs.

People in the community can borrow, use and return any of these items at no charge and are encouraged to stay for the program as well. Post 227 members look forward to seeing you on February 7, 2017.
