June is PTSD month. This course can help you if you want to help other veterans.

You don’t have to be an expert to make a difference—you just have to be willing to show up. Thursday, June 4th is your opportunity to show up.

Our virtual Be the One training from The American Legion, in partnership with Columbia University, equips you with the tools to recognize when a veteran may be struggling and how to respond with confidence, compassion, and care.

Whether you’re a Legionnaire, family member, or community supporter, this training can help you save a life.

June is PTSD Awareness Month, and PTSD can affect veterans, servicemembers, and their families long after military service ends. The good news? No one has to face it alone.

That's why The American Legion's Be the One campaign encourages us all to check in, listen without judgment, and help connect those who may be struggling to the support they deserve.

Learn more about PTSD and access free resources from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs: ptsd.va.gov/understand/awareness/promo_materials.asp

You don't have to have all the answers. Sometimes, being the one who reaches out can make all the difference.

Hey y’all.

We ordered a new cigarette butt ashtray thingy for outside. No more melting plastic.

We would really appreciate if you would use it instead of the ground for your butts as we have to clean those things up off the ground so we can keep the place looking nice.

Thank you.
