National Security is directly in line with our primary focus for the year “BE THE ONE”.
Be The One who will assist our military and their families to ensure they are supported.
Be The One who will show care and concern for our deployed troops.
Be The One who will raise awareness of our POW/MIA.
Be The One who will praise and salute our service members.

As one of The American Legion Four Pillars, there is much to be done and much that can be done to assist our military and their families.

“LET’S ALL……………………….. BE THE ONE”
