New generations coming home

On Memorial Day I spent some time with many of
my good friends in Bonners Ferry. American
Legion Post 55 is undergoing an extensive
renovation and I was invited to come out and
rededicate this historic facility.
The post and its newly rededicated mission speak
to the continuing and growing importance of
veterans' organizations like the American
Legion. I noted that day that new generations of
war veterans are returning home with a desire to
continue making a difference in their
communities.
These groups help our returning warriors deal
with such issues as post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) and advocating for veterans'
rights.
I salute their patriotism, loyalty and fidelity.
We must always remember to honor their
sacrifice.
