FROM THE COMMANDER:

Commander Max Wix – Tyler Cates Post 281

Fellow Legionnaires, family, and friends:

We hope that this newsletter finds you and your families healthy and doing well. As we previously stated, we will be publishing our newsletter following each monthly meeting to keep you better informed.

The American Legion was founded In 1919 on four pillars: Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism, and Children & Youth. Our goal is to focus our activities on these in our community.

We were honored to have Tyler Cates Post 281 past Commanders Lew Hightower and Brenda Thompson were attendance. Prior to our meeting, the Mount Juliet High School Marine Junior Reserve Officer Training Cadets Drill and Ceremony Team , lead by SgtMaj Jonathan Clark, provided a motivational presentation and joined us afterwards for pizza, etc.

Membership is our strength and ability to meet our mutual obligations to the four pillars. We had 49 members and guests at our meeting and look forward to more members joining our gatherings in the future…
