To Our Loudoun Veteran Community;

We at American Legion, Post 2001, would like to take a moment to acknowledge each of you as pillars within our great Loudoun County community. The real-world experience and expertise that you bring to our local government, schools, fundraisers, and countless other activities reflect our commitment to this great nation. Now, more than ever, we must rely on that expertise, and on one another, to communicate our needs.

We stand strong with our brothers, sisters, and neighbors during this extreme time of social caution. The COVID-19 pandemic has touched our lives in innumerable ways. If you, or someone you know, has been impacted by the epidemic, then please reach out to us with specific requests. We have listed several RESOURCES, including CDC recommendations and guidelines.

If you are able, please familiarize yourselves with the needs of our most vulnerable populations; elderly, special needs, deaf, hard of hearing, immobile, etc. Together, we will overcome the virus and its’ evolving threat. Communication is key and we invite you to post your concerns and/or resources for those who require assistance with food delivery, cleaning, transportation, online tutoring or anything else that certain individuals cannot do for themselves. We will continue to post resource links as they become available.
