We are very proud of the services that we provide to our community whether a member or not of the Legion. Our post shows a fine example of letting the public know what we are about and are always there when called upon. Due to the length of some of the ceremonies a few of our older members simply do not have the stamina to hold out. We are in need of some of our younger members to lend us a helping hand. You don't have to worry about whether you've done it before or not because we will train you. How awesome is that? It is truly a great feeling to honor those that have served in the past, present and future. For more information please call Ron McCanham @ 810-378-5849.
