The turkey collection went so well that the Sons of the Legion have decided to do it again!!! They have committed their organization to providing these hams for Christmas dinner for needy veteran families, so if you can help them reach that goal it would be amazing!!! If you can donate or have business and would be willing to collect for them it would really help show our veterans how much we care!!! Thank you for always supporting your American Legion in our mission to service veterans in our community!!!❤️
