Currently we support youth by sponsoring Scout troop 1, awarding medals to outstanding students in the junior ROTC programs in area high schools, sponsoring high school juniors in the American legion boys state and girls state program. We assist area veterans by helping them process claims for benefits from the VA, assisting families with short term financial aid and support the Veterans Administration homeless veterans program.
