TMF LEGACY EVENT

Our volunteer workdays will help prepare New Trinity Cemetery for the Travis Manion Foundation Legacy event. Additional event information will be announced as plans are finalized.
The Travis Manion Foundation empowers veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop character in future generations. To learn more about TMF and its mission, visit:
VETERANS DAY WWI RECOGNITION CEREMONY
Wednesday, November 11
3:00 p.m.
New Trinity Cemetery
On Veterans Day, we will gather to recognize every World War I veteran resting at New Trinity Cemetery.
These veterans will be honored for the World War I Victory Medal ribbon and campaign clasps they earned through their military service but did not receive. We are currently working to update and correct their military records so their service can be properly documented and recognized.
Please join us as we ensure that these World War I veterans receive the honor and recognition they earned more than a century ago.

For God and Country
Submit Prayer Request
The American Legion is nonsectarian and welcomes members of all faiths. Its motto—“For God and Country”—reflects respect for religious freedom and the place of faith in many veterans’ lives. Legion posts traditionally appoint a Chaplain to provide spiritual support, offer non-denominational prayers at meetings and ceremonies, and care for members and families in times of need. The Chaplain’s role is pastoral rather than doctrinal: to comfort, encourage, and uphold the dignity and well-being of all, regardless of background or belief.
You don’t have to be a Veteran or a member of Post 655 to make a difference — all are welcome to serve beside us.
When you volunteer, you become part of something greater: a community bound by respect, gratitude, and the shared mission of honoring those who’ve served our nation.
Every meal served, every event supported, and every hour given keeps our traditions alive and our community strong.
Your time doesn’t just fill a slot — it feeds the spirit of service that defines the American Legion.
Join neighbors, friends, and veterans in giving back.
Whether you can help for a full shift or just a few hours, your efforts make a real impact — and remind every veteran that their sacrifice is never forgotten.
Service isn’t a duty. It’s a legacy — and it continues with you.
