Organization of veterans, active duty military, and their families works to support veterans and mentor youth
The American Legion Smith-Reynolds Post 14, along with the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 14, are proud to announce the start of a new fiscal year with newly appointed officers and a slate of upcoming activities designed to honor veterans and serve the community.
The American Legion is an organization of veterans, active-duty military personnel, and their families. The Post and Auxiliary work together to ensure veterans are recognized and supported. Their collaborative efforts include honoring veterans and the military on Veterans Day and Memorial Day, and providing ongoing support to veterans in VA hospitals and care facilities.
In addition to their focus on veterans, Post 14 and Unit 14 are deeply committed to youth development. The organizations offer scholarships to the relatives of veterans, sponsor a local Scout Troop, and support the Boys and Girls State programs, which foster leadership skills and civic responsibility among young people.
