🇺🇸❤️ November is Military Family Appreciation Month! ❤️🇺🇸

Behind every service member is a family that serves and sacrifices, too. From missed milestones to long deployments, military families demonstrate incredible strength, love, and resilience.

💙 The American Legion Auxiliary Unit 18 proudly honors and thanks our military families for their unwavering support and sacrifice. They may not wear the uniform, but they serve, too!

🇺🇸 Service Not Self!

🇺🇸 NOVEMBER CALENDAR FUNDRAISER! 🇺🇸

📅 30 Days of Giving — Two Great Causes, One Mission: Honoring Our Veterans! ❤️🤍💙

This November, we’re raising funds to support Wreaths Across America and the Monroe County Honor Guard — two incredible organizations dedicated to honoring and remembering those who have served our nation.

💵 HOW DOES IT WORK?

It’s simple! Each day in November represents a donation amount equal to that day’s date!

🍁 November 1 = $1 donation
🍁 November 10 = $10 donation
🍁 November 15 = $15 donation
🍁 November 30 = $30 donation

You pick the day (or days), and your donation helps us make a difference!

🇺🇸 Wreaths Across America — Helping ensure our fallen veterans are remembered, their service is honored, and their legacy is shared with future generations.

🇺🇸 Monroe County Honor Guard — Supporting those who pay their final respects to our veterans with the dignity, honor, and recognition they deserve.

❤️ WANT TO SPONSOR A DAY?

👇 Comment below with the date you’d like to sponsor, or reach out directly to Jenny Tracy!

📅 We’ll be sharing our November Sponsorship Calendar so everyone can see which days have been sponsored and celebrate those helping us reach our goal!

✨ Imagine what we can accomplish if every day is sponsored! A full calendar means $465 raised for these two wonderful causes!

Whether you give $1 or $30, every dollar makes a difference.

🇺🇸 REMEMBER. HONOR. TEACH.
❤️ SERVICE NOT SELF.

Thank you for helping us honor those who have given so much for our freedom!

🎃👻 A Little Late, but Still Full of Halloween Spirit! 🧡🖤

The American Legion Auxiliary Unit 18 hopes everyone had a spook-tacular Halloween! 🦇🍬 While the ghosts and goblins may have packed away their costumes, our spirit of service, friendship, and community never takes a holiday!

Today, American Legion Auxiliary Burton Woolery Unit 18 in Bloomington proudly recognizes the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who are deployed around the world in service to our nation.

While we go about our daily lives, these dedicated service members are making sacrifices, missing milestones, and spending precious time away from their loved ones to protect the freedoms we cherish.

❤️ To our deployed service members: We honor your courage, dedication, and selfless service.

🤍 To the families waiting at home: We recognize your strength, resilience, and the sacrifices you make alongside those who serve.

💙 To those who have served and returned: We thank you for answering the call of duty.

As members of the American Legion Auxiliary, we remain committed to supporting our military, veterans, and their families—not just today, but every day.

🇺🇸 Until they all come home, may they never feel forgotten.

💙🇺🇸 BE THE ONE — ONE STEP AT A TIME! 🇺🇸💙

Today, members of ALA Unit 18 put our mission into motion by participating in the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention (AFSP) Out of the Darkness Walk at Switchyard Park!

As part of The American Legion Family’s BE THE ONE initiative, we joined our community to raise awareness about su***de prevention, support those impacted by su***de, honor lives lost, and remind others that they are never alone. 💙

🚶‍♀️ Every step represented hope.

💙 Every conversation helped break the stigma.

🇺🇸 Every act of support reinforced our commitment to veterans, military families, and our community.

Service doesn’t always mean organizing an event from scratch! Sometimes, making a difference is as simple as showing up, walking alongside others, and supporting an important cause.

Thank you to our Unit 18 members who walked, donated, and supported today’s event!

BE THE ONE to reach out. BE THE ONE to listen. BE THE ONE to make a difference.

❤️🤍💙 Service Not Self!
