Peter P. Monaco Jr. #40. Its detachment has met since 1989 — South Glastonbury, CT. 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 — South Glastonbury. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
The meeting line says 1st Monday, 7:00 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 — South Glastonbury, CT.

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 1st Monday, 7:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — South Glastonbury, CT.
