We send high school students to Boys State which is a program that the American Legions supports: Students are sent to Austin, Texas to learn how the State, County, and City Governments are operated. Each student has the opportunity to be elected Governor, Senator and Mayor for one day so they can experience the position. The program is for one week. We also support the Scouts, a baseball team, and Girls State. We donate funds to Scottish Rite Hospital, Homeless Veterans Organization, Vietnam Veterans organizations, Disabled American Veterans organization, and Denton State School for the mentally ill. We also give to the Veterans Hospital in Dallas, so they may give the needed hygiene supplies that are needed to patients.
We need a handicapped access ramp for our building, and funds to keep our programs going.
To enhance the well-being of America's veterans, their families, our military, and our communities by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.
