To the Editor:

I appreciated the May 24, 2012, Diversions Section, and I recall the hard work of the many returning soldiers and their wives who worked diligently to establish the Little Finger Post 7731.

Mr. Belanger was about right on the cost of the property as the bank mistakenly removed the funds ($500 I think) for the land from our personal joint account rather than the Little Finger Post account. My husband Albert worked on this project as well and was responsible for writing the check on behalf of the VFW post account. The mistake was quickly corrected.

Hats off to the men and women who worked to establish this landmark and a tribute to the Belangers who furnished the information for this moving article.
