The Ladies Auxiliary adopted the troop of one of our Legion members, Spc. James Dawes, serving in Iraq. Through fundraisers and donations, we were able to make several mailings during their 15 month deployment. While home on leave, Jim showed their appreciation for our support by presenting the Legion with a flag that flew over their base. The flag is on display at the Post. He was also able to attend our Veteran's Day Dinner after his deployment.
We are seeking the names and addresses of local servicemen and women so we may continue this show of support. Please mail the address to: Ladies Auxiliary, CJ Fulmer American Legion,
National Security, PO Box 12, Waterville, NY 13480 or drop it off at the Post home on Route 20.We also gladly accept donations of goods or money to assist in the cost of mailings. Join us in showing our troops that we care.
