- 2nd Wednesday, 7:00 PM
In 1977 a handful of veterans chartered Detachment 1406 — Rock Springs, WY. From that first meeting the detachment grew into a hall that still marks the year with a memorial service, a community project, and a table full of people who know one another’s stories.
People point to the detachment for the Memorial Day observance and for the quieter help that never makes a program — Rock Springs. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
The regular meeting is 2nd Wednesday, 7:00 PM. Anyone planning to visit should confirm the night before they come, because a funeral detail or a weather delay can move it. Between meetings the members stay in touch the old way: at the hall, and through the officers listed on this sample site — Rock Springs, WY.

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 2nd Wednesday, 7:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — Rock Springs, WY.
