A message from Department Commander Mark Dvorak

Department of Minnesota Commander Mark Dvorak says this is a time when American Legion Posts can show the community the good we do through our actions. He urges Legionnaires to, firstly, take care of themselves and follow recommended precautions.

He also urges members to be particularly attentive to seniors, as they are the most vulnerable to the virus. March is a time for Buddy Checks, and they can be accomplished through telephone, social media or email. Legion Posts can coordinate food drives, deliver food to seniors, assist with errands, among other good deeds. Be a shining light in your community.
