My Mother was very active in the American Legion and was President of the American Legion Auxiliary for two terms. She was a flag bearer in parades on Memorial Day and the 4th of July. She was also very active in fund raising dinners....as in chairing as many as her schedule would allow.
Mom is feeling a bit stronger from her time in the Nursing Home, next week she may try to go back to her apartment. One day at a time.

So nice to see that picture of your mom doing her thing. I'm glad to hear she's feeling better.
Good for her! Volunteers are the life blood of this country for so many good causes. I'm so glad to hear she is doing better. Have a nice 4th of July!
Happy 4th of July! My MIL was also very active with the Legion Auxiliary. Because they lived through WWII and Korea, I believe those organizations were really important to that generation.
My maiden name is part of the post name of our local American Legion. My dad was an honor guard and flag bearer in all local parades. It meant a lot to him to represent. What a wonderful photo of your mom!
Very good news about your mom getting stronger! I like hearing about how active she was in her younger years - - a great contributor to her community.
Happy 4th of July!
Wonderful news that your mom is feeling some better and regaining her strenght.
One day at a time. It is really all we all can do. Prayers for you and your Mum
Thanks for showing your mom doing what she liked. I'm glad to hear she is feeling better. Here's to a happy return to her apartment.
It is good she has such a close place to recoup. I hope here strength continues to increase as she would probably enjoy being back in the apartment.
Good for your mom, then and now.
Happy Independence Day to all of you.
Happy 4th of July !! Good news that your Mom is feeling a bit stronger.
Great photo. Glad to hear she is getting better.
Happy 4th! :)
Aww I love that pic of your mom marching in the parade with the flag. That's awesome. My dad was Commander of the Legion post in his Minnesota town for many years. I also have pics of him marching in parades and speaking at events. Such good news to hear that your mom might be able to go back to her apartment. Praying for that!
Yes! One day at a time seems to be a good motto.
Love the photo of your mom in the parade!
