American Legion - 0096 Reese-Hyman

Sponsored a free dinner saluting first responders from three counties, attended by over 40 first responders, and supported by local churches, civic organizations, and government officials.

Initiated the recovery and restoration of a World War One monument. Shortly after the end of World War I, an effort was started by the school children of Warren County under the direction of the Warrenton Civic Club to erect a monument to the seven men and two women whose lives were lost in The Great War. Over the course of two years the school children of Warren County raised money, mostly pennies, and in 1920 the monument was erected in front of the old Warrenton Senior High School on Academy Street. This monument was cleaned up and moved to the current county courthouse and rededicated in November of 2023. No funds expended yet at the time of this filing.

Placed flags on the gravesites of over 800 veterans in two counties, in honor of Memorial Day, with the assistance of community volunteers.

Warren County High School requested that Post 96 assist them in training volunteer students in the proper procedures to unfold, raise, fly, lower, and fold for storage the American Flag. On September 26, 2023, members of Post 96 conducted training attended by more than 20 students that will be raising and lowering the flag at the school during the year.
