Members of Unit 1997

Glenda Wheelis and the ladies of Unit 1997 of Heidelberg invited me to their party they were giving to the residents of the Collins Veterans Home this afternoon.  The ladies made snack food and punch for the veterans and brought along Milton Johnson to sing for them.  We had a good gathering of residents, even though football was going on across the hall.  They all enjoyed sandwiches, deviled eggs, cheese and crackers, fruit, and sugar free cookies.  Milton had a wonderful voice and sang gospel favorites.  What a wonderful afternoon.  I had the honor of talking to several of the gentlemen at length and heard their war stories or talk about their families.  These guys are so great.  Can’t wait till the next visit!

Thanks to Unit 1997 for the effort they put into making the afternoon a good one for these veterans.  Great job!

Hello,

I’ve been wanting to add a President’s Blog to our Department of Mississippi Web page, but am just now getting the nerve to try.  I’m learning so bear with me until I figure this thing out.

My intent with this blog is to update members of the American Legion Auxiliary in Mississippi and beyond on current events and activities.  As I visit Units across the state or attend functions on behalf of the Auxiliary, I will provide a summary of the event for you all. 

Also, late-breaking news happens all the time.  We need to stay connected.  Through this tool, perhaps we can get word out to our members in a timely manner.

So, here we go…into blog world!  Be sure to check back often.

For God and Country,

Angela Kilcrease
