This idea is based on providing a cleaner area for the social bar, hall and skill areas.

Veteran's Day Nov 11

Attention Veterans !! The American Legion will be open at 10 am on Veterans Day !
They will have specials all day and Mel’s Famous Ham and Bean homemade soup !! Stop in and God Blessing !
This day is a Time to remember all our Veterans who have served.
Veterans Day is a time for us to pay our respects to those who have served. For one day, we stand united in respect for you, our veterans.
This holiday started as a day to reflect upon the heroism of those who died in our country's service and was originally called Armistice Day. It fell on Nov. 11 because that is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. However, in 1954, the holiday was changed to "Veterans Day" in order to account for all veterans in all wars.
We celebrate and honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
So please take time on this day to say Thank you to any Veterans you know!
For God and Country!
