🇺🇸 **POW/MIA Remembrance Ceremony at American Legion Post 199** 🇺🇸

On Friday, September 18, American Legion Post 199, Fairhope AL gathered to honor and remember the brave men and women who were prisoners of war or remain missing in action.

The evening included a proper flag-retirement ceremony by burning, followed by an overnight vigil around the bonfire, where the names of POWs and MIAs from Alabama were read aloud. It was a meaningful night of reflection, remembrance, and gratitude for those who sacrificed so much for our freedom.

The evening also included Bike Night, sponsored by the Post 199 American Legion Riders, along with a CVMA®️ 28-8 Meet and Greet supporting their annual Horses for Heroes fundraising event.

Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and helped keep the memory of our POWs and MIAs alive. You are not forgotten. 🇺🇸

Did you know the American Legion has four pillars? These pillars guide the organization's advocacy and service efforts for veterans, their families, and communities.

The four pillars of the American Legion are:
🫡 Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation
🔐 National Security
🇺🇸 Americanism
👦 Children & Youth

Monthly, your American Legion Post 199, Fairhope AL Eastern Shore Riders visit a local assisted living center and visit with veterans and families of veterans. This is a wonderful opportunity for your ALR to celebrate the Americanism pillar by sharing our stories and hearing those of our community. This month, we visited The Brennity in Daphne.

Craig “Critter” Brayer (Riders Director), Lynn “Lynnstagator” Brayer, their Great Pyrenees pups Tater and Petunia, Michael “Mojave” Wells (Sgt at Arms) and Leslie “Caretaker” Opsal (Road Captain) attended.
