Good morning all,
We have six boxes ready to ship and plan on sending another six as soon as we get more bars and candy to add to our boxes. We also requested two other organizations to send a few boxes so we can take care of all 158 soldiers in Iran.
I have info for you to ship or drop off at Aunt Cathy’s our factory as we call it. Please PM me and I will give you information on drop off or sending supplies.
Thank you to all who have donated already. We pray this deployment is short and we bring our troops home.
Service not Self

Thank you to all who helped our Bronx children have a merry Christmas. Our Veteran families in transitional housing were so happy to have their children’s Christmas be so special from your donations and pray they will be in their own homes by next year. ❤️

It hurts me to report that three soldiers have already been killed in Iran.
We are starting to ship
Packages to soldier who have been deployed to Iran. One of Gabriel’s cadets volunteer officer has been deployed so if you’d like to bring some items to pack. We can use protein bars (added supplements on label are not accepted)and hard candy to start we have most toiletries. Will update as needed.
If you want to drop at our next meeting at Turner on Clarence we will be there at 11:00AM I am working on an address for shipping directly.
Yours in service.

Good Morning Legion Family,
Due to Snow & Sleet forecast for today we will not be attending today’s meeting. Went down yesterday for Sammys funeral service and had a hard time getting home. Through a crazy snow storm to Taconic roads snow covered and icy. No Plows or salt trucks anywhere. Then having no break control getting off for gas. Thank goodness I avoided all accidents yesterday. Be safe and will see you at February meeting. God willing.🙏🏻
