On Saturday, March 16th, 2024 Comrade Johnny Pauls of Spaniard's Bay was celebrated for his longevity, wartime service and commitment to the legion. More than 130 people gathered at Branch 9 to pay tribute to the former merchant mariner, known affectionately in Spaniard's Bay as "Uncle." Comrade Pauls witnessed the conclusion of the war in 1945 and has outlived all but a handful of those who survived the horrors of the deadliest conflict in history. Below are a few pictures taken during the celebration. (Click on photo for Larger Image)
