Thank you for supporting me.

This page is for our men and women who make it possible for us to do whatever we want to do in this country.

There is also information here about how you can personally reach out the men and women who are fighting for this country and their families. Never forget. Your freedom was bought with a price.

The mission of the American Legion Auxiliary is to serve Veterans, their families, and their communities. Our vision statement is "The American Legion Auxiliary enriches the quality of life of those we serve and our members." We need new members to help with our many projects. Contact the Auxiliary President, Carol Rogers.

Post 459 meets every second and fourth Tuesday of the month. Meetings start promptly at 8:00 p.m. but many come in by 7:00 or so to chat for a while.

Post Services Officer, Dick Wheeler is your contact person for Veteran Administration sign-ups or related problems.

Larry Fritinger has been appointed to the position of post chaplain.

This is a way you can help without making a statement for any political party. This is a legitimate organization. Sometimes you will hear back from the soldier you adopt, sometimes you will not.

"I was with that which others did not want to be,
I went to where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing of those who gave nothing,
and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness that I feel.
I have seen the face of terror, felt the stinging cold of fear,
And enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love.
I have cried pain and hope,
But most of all I have lived times others would say were best forgotten.
At least some day I'll be able to say,
That I was proud what I was, A Soldier."

Soldiers' Angels was started by a self-described ordinary mother of an ordinary young man turned hero, Sgt. Brandon Varn. Brandon was deployed in Iraq and has since honorably completed his mission and has returned back to his proud and loving family.

In the summer of 2003, he wrote home expressing his concern that some soldiers did not receive any mail or support from home. Being a caring and loving mother, she decided not to allow a situation like that to continue. She contacted a few friends and extended family to ask if they would write to a soldier or two. Within a few short months, Soldiers' Angels went from a mother writing a few extra letters to an Internet Community with thousands of angels worldwide.

With more and more merchants donating services, money and items for packages, the Angels reorganized as a 501 c 3 non-profit so all donations would be tax deductible. Soldiers' Angels currently supports tens of thousands of American Service Members stationed wherever we raise our nation's flag, and that number continues to grow daily. Soldiers' Angels are dedicated in supporting our military during and after their deployment.

In December of 2004 a worldwide support forum was created in the hopes of providing a place where the needs of our heroes could be fulfilled.

In July 2006 this ordinary mothers youngest son, Bretton Varn started Boot Camp and looks forward to serving his country.

This is a great way to help a soldier one-on-one. You can directly write to or email a soldier. It is a very rewarding experience for all parties involved. And, you just may get a view of what is really going on in this world.

Thank a Vet the next time you see him or her. And, while you are at it, if you truly support the troops, why not write a letter to a soldier and tell him/her that you appreciate them too? America Supports You is another great help highly recommended by President Bush.

"America Supports You," is a nationwide program launched by the Department of Defense, recognizes citizens' support for our military men and women and communicates that support to members of our Armed Forces at home and abroad.
