Editor, Gazette-Journal:

On behalf of the ladies of American Legion Auxiliary, Gloucester Unit 75, I offer sincerest appreciation to our community for the support we receive. Our community is generous and that helps us help the community. The funds we raise from our yearly yard sale sends rising senior girls to Girls State. Donations to our Poppy Program assist our military, active duty and veterans and their families. We donate to the VA Medical Centers and assist homeless veterans. We have programs in our schools and support patriotism every day.

When you see members of the American Legion Auxiliary handing out poppies this Memorial Day weekend, please contribute and know that every penny makes a difference! Join us at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Courthouse for our annual ceremony to honor those who have given all for your American way of life. If you’re interested in joining, please come by the post or visit our Facebook page: American Legion Auxiliary Gloucester Unit 75.
