SAL Squadron 287 Veteran's Day of Honor

Sons of the American Legion Squadron (SAL) 287 has been working with the other 4th District SAL Squadrons in developing this Veteran's Day of Honor program. The program's goals are to honor veterans who are physically or medically unable to go on the Honor Flight airline trips to see the veteran monuments in Washington, D.C. The program is an audio-visual presentation to allow the veterans to see some of the various monuments. The program also recognizes the veterans in attendance with certificates. Veterans are also given letters of thanks written by children of a local school. The children's letters are given to each veteran in attendance through a "roll call/mail call." Families and friends of the veterans are also invited to attend. The first such program within the 4th District was held in Maryville, Missouri and was hosted by Tri-C Memorial Squadron 464 from Conception Junction. This photo gallery is the 1st such event hosted by Dick Munkres Squadron 287 in Savannah, Missouri. The event took place at the Andrew County Senior Center. Volunteers to conduct the event came from Squadron 464 (Conception Junction), Squadron 359 (Saint Joseph), and Squadron 287 (Savannah)
