The American Legion will be celebrating its 106th birthday on March 15th. On that Saturday evening the Post will be having a Potluck dinner starting at 4:00pm. The Post will be providing the meat. We just ask that members bring a dish to share. We will also be having good will donation, and it will be open to the public.
March 24th will be the first round of nominations for the 2025 Officers.
A big shoutout to the City of Auburn for helping us with the replacement of the solar lights that go on top of the flagpoles. It looks amazing. Good job to all who were involved.
The honor guard needs volunteers. They are not getting any younger. Please contact Jerry West if you are interested in becoming a part of the Honor Guard.
Dates to Remember:
March 4, Hug a GI day - This is not a national holiday, but it is still a day set aside to acknowledge and thank those members of the US Armed Forces for their service and sacrifice. While it is unknown when this day began, or what its origins are, it’s a nice way to thank active members and veterans for their service to our country.
March 15, American Legion Birthday - The American Legion has served wartime veterans through promoting patriotism, military service, national security, and dedication to current service members and vets alike. The organization celebrates its birthday on March 15, 1919.
March 25, Medal of Honor Day - is a United States federal observance that is celebrated every year on March 25. It was created to honor the "heroism and sacrifice of Medal of Honor recipients for the United States." The holiday has been celebrated since 1991, when George H. W. Bush signed Public Law 101-564 on November 15, 1990.
March 29, National Vietnam War Veterans Day - to thank and honor our nation’s Vietnam veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice.
Thank you once again Members of Post 97 for making this one of the Best American Legion Post around. I am so proud to be your Commander. YOU ARE THE BEST! God Bless the United States of America,
For God and Country Bill Towle Post Commander
