Who Are the Red Shirts at Post 255?
If you’ve stopped by the Post on the first Thursday evening of the month, you’ve probably seen a sea of red shirts — that’s the Association of Aviation Ordnancemen, Chapter 8 San Diego!
This incredible group is made up of both active-duty and veteran Aviation Ordnancemen/women, proudly representing a rating that’s been around since 1926. Their mission is simple — strength and unity through service!
Their Community Involvement includes:
• Adopted a local freeway section they clean monthly 
• Volunteer with US Warrior Program food distributions 
• Serve aboard the USS Midway Museum 
So next time you see a red shirt at our Post, give them a warm welcome — and extend a membership invite if they are not already a Post member.
At last week’s meeting, they celebrated Post and AO member Tom Crosby’s 92nd Birthday!
Fun Fact: Tom is one of our treasured living history members — a WWII POW and true American hero.
