🔴 Red Friday 🔴

Today we wear red with pride, gratitude, and hope. Remembering those who are deployed and celebrating the strength of those who serve. 🇺🇸❤️

We keep our hearts with the men and women standing watch far from home, and with the families who support them with unwavering love and resilience. Their courage inspires us, their commitment unites us, and their service reminds us of the best in who we can be.

Until every service member is home, they remain in our thoughts and close to our hearts. Together, we honor their sacrifice.

🇺🇸 Yesterday, we were truly honored 🇺🇸

We had the privilege of hosting American Legion Department Commander John Miga, Sons of the American Legion Detachment Commander Joseph Guidice, and American Legion Auxiliary Department President Maureen Morgan for lunch at our post. It was an absolute honor to welcome them into our post home and share meaningful conversations about our accomplishments as a Post 282 Legion family, including the work of the Legion, Auxiliary, and Sons, along with our innovative Regiment 282 program and how, together, we’re making a real difference for veterans and their families in our community.

Of course, no visit would be complete without a little fun!
Commander Miga and President Morgan jumped on our custom gaming PCs and learned their way around mouse and keyboard right in the heat of battle!

A huge thank-you to our American Legion Auxiliary, who once again did an incredible job preparing a delicious lunch. We are truly fortunate to stand side by side with such a dedicated and supportive Auxiliary unit.

We would also like to thank our Sons of the American Legion, who consistently step up and support us in our endeavors. Your commitment and involvement do not go unnoticed, and we are grateful to have you as part of our Legion family.

We wish Commander Miga, Commander Guidice, and President Morgan continued success in their future endeavors and projects, and we sincerely thank them for all they do for our veterans and this great organization. 🇺🇸💙
