I took this picture today so I could update the https://badenpost641.org/ page. After uploading the photo, I was captivated by the sun's graceful embrace of the crosses, reminding me of the power of light and hope in dark times. Just absolutely moved my soul.

Latisha "Tyshie" Wagner is a 25-and-counting-year Legion member with the same post, Post 641. I have been taking photos that would help enhance the image of The American Legion for four years. I am one of the administrators of the Baden American Legion Post 641 Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Badenpost641), the Woman's Veteran of Beaver County Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SisterhoodVets/), and recently started updating the http://badenpost641.org/ site, which is where one can find much of my work. I served in the U.S. Army - Afghanistan in 2004. I am a Ph.D. student - Grand Canyon University in Phoenix. Primary program: Doctor of Philosophy in General Psychology with emphasis in cognition and instruction. My proposed dissertation is a phemenological study on how change effects American college students 27-45. The Baden American Legion has consistently provided me with unwavering support in all of my endeavors, fostering an environment that encourages personal growth and development. I have had the privilege of observing an exceptional degree of commitment and assistance from this organization, unlike any other I have encountered. I express my gratitude for their continuous support. The commanders of District 26 have played a pivotal role in offering assistance to female veterans. I have been actively engaged in the establishment and coordination of the Female Veteran Committee of District 26, where I serve as the team leader.
