American Legion provides classroom flags

The George P. Vanderveer Post #129 of Toms River, NJ was advised of the need for new classroom flags for the Lakehurst Elementary School, and quickly provided them. After mold was discovered at the elementary school, the building was closed and the students relocated. Months later the school re-opened, minus classroom flags. Once the Legion heard that the students were saluting small desk flags, they quickly responded with brand new large classroom flags for each room.

Spotlight on Jean Wilson - Dept. of Ohio 2nd Vice Commander

What happens when you continue to serve; both in the American Legion as a Legionnaire and in the American Legion Auxiliary?

We Have Met the Enemy and Is it us?

When the Korean War began in June 1950, I signed up, I was single, had five years' experience in construction and joined the U.S. Navy Seabee Reserves as a Petty Officer. After a few months of weekly drills and not having been called to active duty, I went to headquarters, Third Naval District, and had orders to active duty initiated. I volunteered for duty in Korea. I felt the single men should volunteer for war areas so the men with families would not be obligated to serve in a war zone.
