Due to COVID. The American legion post 40 in Danville Pa, was not able to visit local veterans in nursing homes this year. To show the veterans that we are still thinking about them and appreciate what they did. We created a video to play for the veterans. I was able to upload the video to YouTube. Here is the link to the video. Please share this video and pass this information to anybody that you think would enjoy it. I would also like to thank everybody who submit a video or helped with get the word out about this project. The response was far better than I ever thought. THANKS VIDEO NAME: For Veterans in Nursing Homes at Christmas. 2020 From American legion Post 40 Danville Pa. https://youtu.be/tKPPz2ROrXI

Each night at 6 PM with the ringing of the bell inside the legion. Retreat and TAPS will also be played in the legion’s parking lots. While every Veteran knows that the military has specific protocols to follow during the playing of Retreat and TAPS, the nonveteran may not be aware of such protocols. At the first notes of Retreat, stop where you are. Come to attention and turn to face the large American flag at the front of the building. (If you are in moving vehicle, please park it first). Due to a 2007 act of Congress, veterans can render the military-style hand salute during this time. Nonveterans should stand at attention and place their right hand over their heart until the last note of TAPS.
