LEGION CORNER...

Provided by Bill Flaugher, Pa%t 3rd District Commander “There’s some strange men in town. They often gather in a bar. Sometimes they are uncomfortably loud. Sometimes they are strangely quiet. We don’t know much about them. They seem to come from a different time. They remember friends long dead by marching in parades...standing graveside in small cemeteries wearing uniforms that don’t always fit. They go to these graves even when its raining and cold and even when no one else is there. Two or three men fire old guns in honor of fighting men who sometimes aren’t even buried there. They do this to the commands of a comrade...even these commands seem out of place to everyone but these strange men. We see them sometimes carrying the Flag at our high school football games. They seem too serious about carrying the colors. Almost like someone died. They wear strange caps. They gather at a bar. I wonder if they go there to remember or do they go there to forget. You’ll see these men snap to attention when the Flag comes by in a parade. If you look closely, you may see a tear in that man’s eye. At the Veterans Park they’ll go and touch the memorial...here...tears again. Strange men. If these unusual men are remembering battles and friends or living with the memory of horrors and death that Hollywood can’t even come close to imitating...then why do they buy the band uniforms for our school’s marching band? Why do they put on Boys and Girls State? Why do they, give money to scholarships and donate time and scarce dollars to the Veterans Homes and VA Hospitals? Why do they sponsor Boy Scouts? Why do they sponsor baseball teams? Why do they give blood, buy fire trucks and build parks and teach child safety and support drug education? Why do they want us to leam to speak so
