Good Morning ladies and gentlemen! This fantastic group of young leaders have a very busy day ahead of them! Tons of memorial, monuments, and tours. We will make sure to keep you updated with tons of group photos later this afternoon. Happy Tuesday! #ohiolegion #youngleaders

A&G trip continued yesterday, our young leaders visited the AF Memorial, Eisenhower Memorial, Navy Memorial, Law Enforcement Memorial, National Cathedral, Capitol, Washington, WWII, Vietnam, Lincoln and Korean monuments/memorials, and stopped at the White House for some pictures.

Yesterday, The Department of Ohio has the honor of placing our wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Our young leaders selected to place the wreath are Aiden Bryant- Post 450 District 4 and Emma Trimble- Post 25 District 7. fb.watch/j9Ct24gjyV/ via facebookwatch

Day 3 for our young leaders was jam packed. We started off with a visit to the Iwo Jima Memorial, then on to Arlington National Cemetery. After lunch, we went the the White House visitor center, and other key locations. #ohiolegion #youngleaders

Day 4 of the A&G trip has come and gone for our young leaders. A few sites visited were the Marine Corps Museum, Washington’s Mt. Vernon, and then ended the night with a meal from our family at American Legion Post 8 and Post 2 in Washington DC. #ohiolegion #youngleaders

Our final stop on the A&G trip. Our final teacher, Ryan. Words can’t describe the Flight 93 Memorial. Very emotional. Former Vice President Dick Cheney said it best. “I think an act of heroism just took place on that plane.” “A common field one day, a field of honor forever.”

We are launching a fundraising campaign for American Legion Baseball with support from the Dayton Dragons. All proceeds raised will go to help support American Legion Baseball. Follow the link below to get your tickets today! fevogm.com/s/other/ohiole…
