Today was a very special day for Veterans everywhere. Today the commanders from our local American Legion and VFW posts accepted, on behalf of Veterans, an emblem that was created especially for the Veterans. To date, there has never been an "official" emblem for Veterans. Veterans clubs each have their own, but Veterans as a whole do not have one. By these two organizations accepting this presentation it moves us closer to making it an "official" Veterans emblem.
This I think is long overdue to many Veterans who deserve this kind of recognition. We decided to forego waiting for Congressional approval, which will take months or years, and make it a part of todays Veterans Day Ceremonies. It was only a local ceremony, but through the VFW and the American Legion we hope this finds its way into other posts across the country. We are also planning on a similar presentation to a Chapter of the VVA in another part of the state, after the first of the year.
We would like to be able to make this same kind of presentation to Veterans through other similar organizations throughout the upcoming year. Anyone who can help, please let me know.
I don't know how to post images here so cannot show you the emblem....any help would be appreciated.
Our thanks to all Veterans everywhere for their service in protecting our freedoms.
I think I am saying this OK!
