Do You Remember?
Do you remember when your unit was under fire? You were scared. You didn't know whether you would ever get home again, see your family, your loved ones. And the only thing that you could count on in that instant was your buddy. And you knew he or she was counting on you as well.
Perhaps you were one of the lucky ones who never saw combat. Do you remember the tediousness of garrison life? Do you remember the interminable hurry up and wait? Do you remember the inane make-work projects you were ordered to do? But your buddy was always there along side you, making the wise-crack, helping you make it though each day, maybe even covering for you on occasion.
Your buddy still needs you!
Maybe your buddy is in one of the VA hospitals; his war wounds and/or time have taken its toll on his or her body. Maybe he or she is a young veteran, just discharged from service in one of the trouble spots in the Mideast, Africa, or elsewhere and is having difficulty finding a civilian job. Maybe your buddy is just an ordinary guy or gal like yourself, wanting to share stories and comradeship with someone who was in a similar situation.
The American Legion is the place for you to help your buddy and for your buddy to help you. Founded in 1919, it is the largest veteran's organization in the United States with over 3 million members.
We are veterans just like you. We care about America, our fellow veterans, our families and our children. As members of Post 545, we continue to serve our God, our Country and our Community. Our Post, or your local Post, needs you now.
Our Legionnaires participate in many community activities such as parades, memorials, dedications, etc.
Regretfully, Post 545 does not have an honor guard detail; however, we will be happy to assist any veteran requesting same in contacting another nearby post with a detail. When requested, we are also available to provide similar assistance to other veteran organizations.
Our post sponsors local students to participate in Boys State.
