January 2026

The sole purpose of the Sons of the American Legion is to support the ideals and programs of the American Legion. On November 13th and December 19th, we made up some cards to wish some families a happy holiday and a nominal cash donation. 

By doing this we were able to help twenty families at Thanksgiving and twenty families at Christmas time. Our total donation was $2,000.00. 

There were many hugs and sometimes tears as a thank you from the folks that received these cards. We even had folks ask the grocery checker if this was a scam and they grinned and said “No, this is a real deal”. 

There were even several that said to give it to someone that needs it more than I do. It gave the Sons members a warm feeling that we were doing something good and this is a most rewarding project.
