This Week at Walter Rhoades Post 111
Announcements, news, events, and other information about your American Legion Post.
From the Commander
In recent weeks, I’ve covered two aspects of the American Legion Vision: A Veteran is a Veteran and Selfless Service. Today, I’d like to simply reiterate the American Legion’s vision on American Values and Patriotism. “The American Legion advocates for upholding and defending the United States Constitution, equal justice and opportunity for everyone and discrimination against no one, youth education, responsible citizenship and honoring military service by observing and participating in memorial events.” As we execute our 2024-2025 goals, we must remember this key focus of our organization.
