Thank you for your service! And thanks Patch for all you do to help our community! Planning on participating in the 5k run...but I'm really not much of a runner.

I have a technical question for patch: "how could I play patch videos via windows phone?"
Angela Chao (Editor) August 6, 2012 at 05:45 pm
Hi Zachary, the best way is to download the Patch App on your phone, the app is free, and you'll be able to watch videos, read articles, comment via the app.

I might be prejudiced, but Post 304 is the best American Legion Post in Georgia! It is quite amazing in how it does so much with so little. It doesn't even have a full-time home, yet you will see this Post out at all the festivals and you will see these guys at the Kennesaw Business Association meetings every month. They are so incredibly active and constantly give back to the community. They truly desire to help support all Veterans. Their area covers all of the NE Cobb area, so if you know a Veteran in this area, refer them. Please support them in any way you can. If you can't make it to the August 18th run, just send them a check. They are the nicest guys you will ever meet.

I will be there this Saturday. This will be my second 5K and I am so excited. Most of all, I am thrilled that this race benefits our veterans.

When I was growing up (in an SBC church) I remember the ushers being told "If a <n-word>Read More tries to come in, lock the doors and we will cancel church". In today's church, just replace <n-word> with "Gay"...
