Letter: Recognize military children in April
The American Legion Auxiliary, in fact, the whole American Legion Family, celebrates April as Children and Youth Month. Since its founding, the American Legion Family has committed itself to improving the well-being of all children. The key to the future of a free and prosperous country is held by the children and youth of today. American Legion Auxiliary Unit 28, is only one of many auxiliary units trying to give our children and youth the tools to understand their country and the freedoms it holds. Americanism Essay Contests in our schools are one tool we use. We also donate books to schools and libraries on things like our U.S. Constitution, the history of the flag and why we say the Pledge and what it means, as well as elections – how they work and why each vote is important. The American Legion Family advocates for traditional family values, assistance for at-risk children and to stop drug use, bullying and production of TV shows and movies filled with obscenities and indecencies.
