Sons of The American Legion Pony Express Squadron 359 sent one dollar for each of their members under the age of 18 to support America's Fund for Afghan Children, a program established by President George W. Bush.

"We support President Bush in his efforts to show compassion and mercy to those in need," said Past Squadron Commander Jerome L. Goolsby. Past Commander Goolsby encouraged other youth organizations in the area to make similar donations to the fund.
