Frank Grittner 6th District Chaplain
18881 Boston St NW | Elk River, MN 55330
Greetings 6th District –
We, we are definitely in our busy season. And it seems that Old Man Winter is going to take it easy on us for this winter season. I’m sure we will still get some cold, and maybe some snow, but as Minnesotans, I’m sure it is nothing we can’t handle.
You keep hearing me say that we need to Be The One that reaches out and checks on our members and friends. Recently, during and after the 6th District Mid-Winter, I had an opportunity to re-connect with an old friend I hadn’t seen in quite a while. I can’t tell you how this recharged my soul, and warmed my heart. So, as much as you might be helping the person you reach out to, they will be giving you just as much in return. So do it, BE THE ONE!
BE THE ONE to check on an old friend, or just someone you haven’t seen around in a while.
BE THE ONE to reach out to someone that may be in need of a friendly face to stop them from committing suicide.
BE THE ONE that asks one of our younger veterans if they are a Legionnaire, and bring them into our family.
Until next time,
May God bless and keep us all,
Frank Grittner
