Freeburg DAV Chapter 24 was able to give a little back to our veterans Saturday Aug. 29 by visiting 8 Assisted Living facilities and giving our veterans a gift bag with treats and a throw blanket. Over 100 bags were given away during this event.

If you're a veteran, family member of a veteran or know someone who is, let your voice be heard. Below is a great tool to let your politicians know that you are fighting for and speaking on behalf of our military hero's. Just register, pick a topic that's true to your heart, a pre generated letter will be filled in and sent to the politicians who are for or against our agenda, and your politicians will respond back to you with a formal letter. Some of our politicians need to know that we as a family are strongly opposed to cutting our military families benefits that these brave men and woman have earned and deserve. Scan the QR code. It only takes a minute.

I wanted to say how humble we are here in Freeburg, IL. to be able to sponsor 2 (DAV) Disabled American Veterans vehicles so our veterans can ride in style to and from their VA medical appointments free of charge. If it wasn't for the enormous support from the public, donors and our community, none of this would be possible. I would like to also give a big shout out to Ford Motor Company for being a proud sponsor of the DAV and making this possible, so we can continue to serve our veterans and provide the service that they much desperately need. Thank you to everyone once again who helped us achieve this goal. Veterans Assistance Commission of St. Clair County Citizens of Freeburg, IL Smithton News David Self
