The Legion Membership Caravan came to Kampsville on Friday and the National Vice Commander came to town. It was a packed crowd.
Our Legion is so wonderful, I can’t say enough great things about them. These guys are so active in our community and I work with them on many projects. They are very giving organization, but mostly I have so much respect for them. If not for them making so many sacrifices and fighting for freedom, none of us would have the life we have now.
Our Queen wasn’t found Friday night, so you’re gonna wanna get your ticket.
