Legion Celebrates Birthday
The Auxiliary presented the American Legion with a cake to celebrate their 93rd birthday.
The American Legion was formed March, 1919, in Paris, France, by a group of officers and enlisted men who served in WWI. The purpose was to have a veteran's organization to serve America and continue the comradeship of the war years. Pictured front left to right: Tom Sieverding, Post Commander Jerry Corey, Fred Lee.
