Our community is in the process of recovering from being completely under water in 2008. We want to thank the thousands of hours of volunteer labor and resources from all over the US and our local area.
Our Legion Post have committed to see that the Flag at the Memorial Park next to the community building is maintained.
We have 28 members in our post of which are representatives from all branches of service, including The Coast Guard and the Merchant Marine.
On Memorial Day we hold ceremonies at Edwards Cemetery to honor the veterans buried there (101) and at our river bridge to honor those who were lost at sea.
