American Legion Posts to Help Central Washington State Communities

EPHRATA– Military veterans in and around this region are invited for a special service session at the Art Semro American Legion Post 28 located at 267 8th Avenue N.W. in Ephrata.  National and state teams along with local post members from The American Legion will be in town to discuss veterans’ benefits and service and kick off this community and veteran service campaign within the community.
All veterans in this area are invited to Post 28 to learn more about The American Legion and veteran benefits.  Membership and veteran information staff will be available on May 19, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and May 20, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
A veteran service officer will be available to assist area veterans with claims or other veteran benefit related questions during these times.
In keeping with the nearly 100-years of tradition of The American Legion, the American Legion posts in this area will focus on community service and assistance to veterans.  The scope and nature of the posts’ community service is determined by its members and with input from local civic and community officials.
Since its inception in 1919, The American Legion has been a key advocate for veterans’ benefits, patriotic American values, instilling values in young people through numerous programs and a strong national defense with focus on quality-of-life issues for those serving in today’s armed forces.
