/in /by

Fellow Legion members –

Post 2001 will conduct our annual poppy distribution event for Memorial Day on May 24 and 25, at the Giant Food Store, 44110 Ashburn Village Boulevard in Ashburn.

If you are available to volunteer, please let me know so I can add you to the schedule.  We re still short in certain shifts and could use a few additional volunteers.

If you have Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts, American Heritage Girls or other youth organizations who would like to participate, please let me know.

I will provide a summary of the effort the monthly meeting on Thursday.

thanks

Dennis Kellen

Sgt Charlie’s Cancer Treatment

/in /by

Hi all, I want to share with you about Sgt Charlie, who is a certified therapy dog and loves his job. He loves all of the people he meets and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down or retiring any time soon. If you would like to help, please go to our GoFundMe page. We appreciate your help! God Bless!

Unfortunately, he has been diagnosed with mast cell cancer. This will require surgery, diagnostics, lab work, and much more. While we don’t know yet if he will need chemotherapy, radiation, or other more extensive treatment, these are all very possible. Cancer sucks and Charlie is only 7 years old. We realize that bull mastiffs typically do not live into their teens, but he has so much love and compassion to give everyone that he meets at the hospital, the VFW, the American Legion, the nursing homes, the kids at all the schools and community centers he visits.

He loves being a therapy dog. Anyone that has met him in his travels can attest to his intuitive sense for who needs the most attention and love that day. Please help us to offset the extensive costs of cancer surgery and treatment. Thank you.
