Ever wonder why do I belong to The American Legion?
Did you know that an American Legion Past National Commander (Camery) wrote the first G.I. Bill, rushed it from Georgia to Washington,presented and got it pasted in Congress. The American Legion also wrote and presented the new P.A.C.T Act to Congress and it to was passed. The two greatest benifits to veterans in history. The Legion also fought for and won over $14,000,000,000.00 (Billion) in Veteran's disability claims during just 2021. The Legion never sleeps when it comes to fighting for Veteran's rights. The Hutchinson Post 96 is part of that and has won both State and National recognition for the work they have been doing for the Veteran Community, Both homeless or in need of just a helping hand and often times have been involved with Suicide prevention.

197 - West Elementary kids waiting for the Flag program put on by Voiture 414 of the 40/8. Hutchinson Legion members assisted and the kids were really great during the entire program. They really know the Pledge of Allegiance and are proud of it. The program was cut a bit short with some thunder and possible lightning in the distance.
Vern Krentz and Sam Flom preparing for the next flag fold while Bob Rolander read what each fold means. This really held the attention of the kids who were so good throughout the program.
