This year was not a good year for the world and for Post 10223 due to the tragic events that occurred in the United States.

On September 11, 2001 the terrorist attacks on the Trade Centers and the Pentagon caused all the Military Troops in Korea to be put on High Alert and lock down for several months. Despite that, our Post continued its mission and Commander Meuse managed to achieve 100% + Membership.

A ceremonial Draping of our Charter was held on 15 May 04 for Past District Commander James T. Conley.
