Post 2001 Adopt-a-Highway Cleanup, 12 November 2016

/in /by

Legionnaires,

As you know, Post 2001 has adopted a part of Claiborne Parkway as part of the Adopt a Highway program.

On Saturday (12 November) rain or shine we will meet in the Junction Plaza parking lot (Ashburn Farm Giant shopping center, corner of Claiborne and Ashburn Farm Parkway) at 0830 and collect litter along Claiborne Parkway from Ashburn Farm Parkway up to Hay Road & back.

We need your help – many hands make light the work.

This will fulfill our forth quarterly run as part of the VDOT Adopt a Highway program.

Please contact Ron Milberg for additional details.

Post 2001 – Veterans’ Day

/in , /by

Message from the Post Commander:

Legionnaires,

This Friday, Veterans’ Day, is a time to celebrate our current active duty and veteran comrades, and remember and honor those who are no longer with us including our POWs and MIAs yet unaccounted for.

Many activities are planned for the 11th and the remainder of the Veterans’ Day weekend. One special event to which our Post members have been invited is the Hillside Elementary School choir concert for Veterans, Thursday, 10 November at 18:30 and Friday, 11 November, at 0900. This is the third year Mrs. Jessica Blood will be directing this outstanding program. I encourage you to make a special effort to attend at least one of them, and proudly wear your cover and/or a Legion shirt, if you have one.

If you know of others, please share the information with Adjutant Norm Larson as soon as you can.

Other activities, events and discount/free meals are being staged in honor of our veterans. Check out these links:
