The American Legion Supports and Embraces Veterans & Their Families - Serving Free Pre-Thanksgiving Meals for Veterans

Wanda White from the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 194 is signing up Vietnam War veterans Septimus Connor and Albert Wright, Jr. for their free meals. 

The American Legion Post 194 and the Auxiliary Unit 194 are always supporting veterans and their families, and this Saturday they gave out their annual pre-Thanksgiving meals to veterans and surviving spouses in the community. 

In great assembly-line fashion gratitude and serving the community continues to be pillars always on display at our local American Legion here in West Augustine.

Tom Crawford, a local Vietnam War Veteran is delivering meals to veterans in the community.

Veterans and surviving spouses could either show up at the American Legion Alton Green Unit 194 at 1029 Pearl Street, or they could call in to get it delivered.

The American Legion Post 194 and the Auxiliary Unit 194 have numerous events for veterans and the community throughout the year, and the comradery is always evident.

Vietnam War veterans Septimus Connor and Albert Wright, Jr., connected at the sign-up table for the meals, as they realized they had both been a part of the Big Red One division in Vietnam. 

Wright, a Purple Heart recipient who lives next door to the American Legion, had never joined, but members of the American Legion Unit 194 and the Auxiliary Unit quickly embraced Mr. Wright and invited him to join their community, as they always look to support more veterans in St. Augustine.

The American Legion Alton Green Memorial Post 194 here in West Augustine is always looking for new members, and they provide a great community and support system for veterans, active military and their families.
