's Army Annual Blood Drive

Today we, along with many in our local Legion family, assisted Operation We Care with the boxing of over 90 care packages being sent to members of our military across the globe.
It is a kind, selfless effort their organization makes to show our military they are thought of and to brighten someone's day.
If you aren't familiar with their organization, check out their website, operationwecare.org or their page to learn about them.

Save the date! 🌟 National Wreaths Across America Day is Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025. 🌟
Back in August 2023, the American Legion Auxiliary partnered with Wreaths Across America to strengthen awareness of each group’s common missions. Wreaths Across America is an organization whose mission is dedicated to remembering our fallen U.S. veterans, honoring those who serve, and teaching future generations the value of freedom. Their mission is deeply connected to the ALA’s, as we both work to ensure our heroes are remembered long after their earthly journey has ended. 🇺🇸

American Legion Family members are encouraged to participate in this important day by sponsoring a wreath, volunteering, or donating. Support the ALA’s efforts through the WAA program at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/amlegaux. Sponsorship cutoff dates begin Nov. 28 — click the link to honor a hero today.

Today we joined our Unit President, Nola Willis, her family, and our community to celebrate the life and mourn the loss of her husband (& our Legionnaire member), Mr. Tom Willis.
Our Legion family will miss him.
Don't worry Mr. Tom, we will finish your Natty Bohs for you! 💔

Happy Veterans Day to all who served and are serving!
You have our respect and gratitude!
