Berks County Armed Forces Day Parade

The latest update from National Commander Oxford. Dear American Legion Family, Today is the 19th anniversary of the commencement of Operation Enduring Freedom.... The American Legion, by national resolution, supports the Global War on Terrorism. The 9/11 attacks were not the last acts of terrorism inflicted upon the United States but we have been fortunate to not experience attacks on a similar scale. This is no accident. It’s because brave men and women have made tremendous sacrifice on our behalf. The American Legion will be forever grateful to these veterans and their families.

Today is Gold Star Mother's Day which is observed annually in the United States on the last Sunday of September. It is a day to recognize and honor mothers who have lost a son or daughter while serving the United States Armed Forces.

The Parade Committee is looking for a meeting room. Our home at the Red Cross office isn't available for the foreseeable future. Our meetings are the second Wednesday of the month at 6:30 pm. Our next meeting is Wednesday. September 9. Please message us with any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
