Time for New Leadership - Cooney Must Go !

I think it is long past time for Mr Cooney to resign his official responsibilities with American Legion Post 694. He is embarrassing the good name of The American Legion with every faux outburst. The Cow Harbor Warrior Weekend Team should be held in high regard and honored by Post 694 for their personal efforts to successfully mobilize a community and raise much needed funds to help our Country's wounded veterans. Something that Mr Cooney and American Legion Post 694 have not been able to do themselves alas these many years !! The CHW saw a need and had the tenacity to create a successful event in Spirit, Goodwill and fundraising financial success.  That  American Legion Post Leader Cooney has never though about how he could do it - speaks more about his lack of imagination and inability to lead then anything else. The CWH is not looking for thanks, but they sure do not deserve to be attacked ! The carping must stop. It is outrageous that Cooney - supposedly representing our veterans - would continue to try and attack and vilify this hard working well meaning group of volunteers. It makes one wonder just what kind of a soldier he was when he actively served - as his post-service is disgraceful. I have no doubt there are several qualified Post 694 members who could easily fill his administrative shoes and put this blight upon our community, behind us. Mr Cooney, it is time for you to go. Sincerely, Jonathan Woods
