New exhibit at the American Legion | Letter

Published 2:31 pm Tuesday, April 22, 2014

We are preparing an exhibit to be displayed at the American Legion, 793 Crescent Beach Rd., Eastsound, for Memorial Day week open to the public May 24, 25 and 26.  We are honored to have this opportunity to show our gratitude to those who have given their lives for our freedom and those veterans who served during the war years (WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam and the Spanish American War of 1898).

If you have mementos (uniform, medals, photos, certificates, etc.) you would like to share during Memorial Day week to honor their service, please call 376-5413.

The American Legion will be open to the public over the weekend and by special arrangement during the prior week if desired.

We look forward to honoring our service men and women by sharing these mementos from Orcas Island veterans and their family members. If you’d like to participate, we will be proud and honored to have you do so. Call 376-5413 for more information.
