Local American Legion posts have been preparing to honor veterans past and present. Several programs are planned throughout the county this Memorial Day. This year is particularly meaningful for the posts, as the American Legion was founded in 1919 — 100 years ago.
The American Legion encouraged the public to continue to celebrate their local posts' legacies, through words, photos and other means. Locally, American Legion posts are inviting the public to recognize the contributions veterans have made both in recent memory and over the course of history.
