May 2022

The Sons of the American Legion squadron has been busy the winter supporting a number of veterans’ and community causes. Having been dealing with the winter and COVID. We haven’t been able to get any photo opportunities; but, as things improve, I hope to have pictures to go with the activities we are supporting. One of our new members; Val Schmiedeskamp, has offered to donate to the Victory Park Apartments a patio set that has been sitting in his garage. It will be a welcome addition, since they have very little of those things now. We are again supporting a pair of high school juniors to attend American Legion Cornhuskers Boys State and American Legion Auxiliary Cornhuskers Girls State. It will be good to get those programs up and going again --- live and in person. At our last meeting, it was discussed that we revamp the way we have donated food baskets for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is still a ways off, so if you have any input and thoughts, please attend a meeting or let us know what you think. Our meetings are small and very informal, and you are welcome. The times and dates are listed, but if you can remember that they are held on the second Thursday of the month at the American Legion Post 3 business office at 123 South 84th Street (84th and “O” Street).
