**Unaccompanied Veteran Burial Announcement in Killeen, Texas**

We regretfully announce the upcoming unaccompanied veteran funeral to honor and lay to rest a brave soul who served our beloved country. If you are in the area, please join Kileen, Texas in paying a final respect to this fallen hero, as no veteran should be laid to rest alone. 🎗💝

Congratulations to our Legionnaire of the quarter for the 4th quarter of 2023. German Cesar Garza, thank you for your dedication and commitment to Post 408.

Let’s take a moment to recognize Edinburg's very own City Councilman and Post 408 Legion member, Daniel “Dan” Diaz, Edinburg City Councilman Place 1 , who spent the day with his father giving back to our Legion by volunteering their time and efforts to tackle some much-needed yard work. Their act of service not only demonstrates a deep love for their fellow Legionnaires, but also for the fundamental values that our Legion stands for. Your unwavering dedication does not go unnoticed, and we are forever grateful for your commitment.

Just putting this out there. For all to see! Happy New Year!

🚨VETERAN AWARENESS🚨

As we welcome 2024, let's take a moment to appreciate the significance of this transition. Before we celebrate, let's consider how fireworks may affect our beloved veterans. Loud sounds can trigger distressing memories for them. Let's be mindful and inform our neighbors, limit fireworks' duration, or explore alternative celebrations. By considering veterans' experiences, we can create an inclusive and supportive environment for all. Wishing you a joyful and peaceful New Year! 🥳
