American Legion Post 79 Commander Bobby Thornton (left) accepts the 2023 American Legion Riders Family Award and behalf of the Wesson American Legion family for its programming.
Two separate presentations were made at the 104th annual Department of Mississippi American Legion Convention in Natchez -- one to Thornton and another to the Auxiliary Unit.
The award is based on the past year’s activities of the Legion post, including the variety of events and the spirit of cooperation between the Legion, Sons of the American Legion (SAL), and Auxiliary Unit in serving the Veterans population. The American Legion program focuses on “the Four Pillars” -- Veterans affairs and rehabilitation, national security, Americanism and children and youth.
American Legion Post 79 meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at 1014 Main Street in Wesson. To learn more about the American Legion, visit its website at www.legion.org or follow American Legion Post 79 on Facebook.
