From Commander Thompson: It is the time of year when we can relax and enjoy the efforts of our labor and the blessings of our family, our health, and our security that are provided by the great state and this great country that we all live in.
As an American Legion post, we’ve had an exciting year with some great strides and advancements of who we are and our position of commitment to our local community through our comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness. The successes of our previous commanders have reaped benefits for the post and it is my strongest desire, as Post 281’s forth Commander, to continue that tradition.

From Commander Thompson:
November is the month that everyone recognizes and celebrates Veterans. Of course, we in the American Legion do that every day. It is important that we take the opportunity to talk to those who did not serve, to our children and to our community, to help them understand why we are so proud or our service to our country – both in uniform and as a member of the American Legion…

Since The American Legion was founded in 1919 we have been actively involved in meeting the needs of both the community and American Legion family members. In the ’20s, The American Legion entered into an agreement with The American National Red Cross, later called The American Red Coss, to assist them in disaster relief and fund raising.
The programe became known as The American Legion’s Disaster Relief Program and worked in conjuction with The Red Cross for about 50 years. Over that time, The American Legion through its many local posts assisted our Nation’s residents without housing assistance, food, supplies and cleanup after a number of major disasters.
