Explore the heart of Mississippi with me, Jerry Allhands, as we shine a light on the incredible work of the American Legion family. Ever wondered how a small town like Nesbitt can make a big difference for veterans? Join us at Post 1990, where we celebrate the essential roles played by the American Legion Auxiliary and the Sons of the American Legion. From navigating the charming quirks of Nesbitt's location to uncovering the evolution of the Auxiliary to include male spouses of female veterans, this episode promises insights into the unique support system that uplifts veterans and their families. You'll learn about scholarships, programs like Boys State, and even charming tales of Legion baseball that bring communities together.
Bringing the community together is at the heart of everything the American Legion Auxiliary does. With initiatives like the Be the One program and the promotion of the 988 crisis line for veterans, we highlight how community activities—like local parades, the MS Project Package, and support for the Memphis Medical Center—are making a real impact. Guests Jace Chanda and Jessica Peek share their leadership journeys, showcasing the camaraderie and adaptability of the Auxiliary. As we navigate the path to membership, we spotlight the importance of personal connection and teamwork within the American Legion family, all while reinforcing our unwavering commitment to veterans and their families.
