FROM THE DESK OF POST ADJUTANT JIM BENSON
My Comrades. brothers in arms, a hearty welcome to all vets and your families! It has been my honor and privilege to serve the American Legion and veterans everywhere through my participation in the offices, programs and events over the last 20 years. To help guide our post through the years.
With that in mind I would like to you to think about becoming more active here in Adams Township post#553. All us old guys aren’t getting any younger and many of us who were there just aren’t anymore. Simply put we need more leadership and volunteers in order to keep providing for our members, families, and our community just as we have ever since the post was founded in 1932. many of you don’t realize the amount of time and effort our Post puts into the American Legion and its’s members, our Community, three local Schools and the VA clinic here in Toledo. Therefore I encourage you to embrace our post and get involved. I guarentee your life will be enhanced and more fulfilled if you do so. OooRah!!
