Delaware post spreading the word

Members of Richard C. DuPont American Legion Post 18 in Claymont, Del., will spend part of their Memorial Day weekend sharing information about the Legion with holiday travelers.

Legion family members from Post 18 will man a table at the Delaware House Travel Plaza on Interstate 95 near Newark, Del., from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Monday of Memorial Day weekend.

Lyman Brenner, the post’s membership chairman and past commander of the Department of Delaware, said the first-time event is designed to make The American Legion and Post 18 more visible to the general public.

The location is the only rest stop along I-95 in Delaware, so Legion family members are counting on plenty of travelers stopping by to receive American flags and information about the Legion.
