The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic, mutual-help, war-time veterans organization. A community-service organization which now numbers nearly 3 million members — men and women — in nearly 15,000 American Legion Posts worldwide. These posts are organized into 55 departments — one each for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico, and the Philippines.

We attended this ceremony and were very impressed with the professional events that honored the veterans who have served in the past and those who currently in the military to protect our republic. We commend Commander Bob Cook and all those who worked effectively to make this day a time of honor and respect.
