American Legion hosting service session

Military veterans in Jefferson City and surrounding areas are invited to participate in a special service session at Roscoe Enloe Post 5, 1423 Tanner Bridge Road.

The sessions are from 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Sept. 25 and 26, and from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Sept. 27.

The Legion will focus on community service and assistance to veterans. The scope and nature of the community service will be determined by its members and inputs from local civic and community officials.

Since its inception in 1919, the American Legion has been a key advocate for veterans' benefits, children and youth, patriotic American values, a strong national defense and quality-of-life issues for those serving in the armed forces.
