We want to extend a special thanks to the members of the 319th RW who came out to help us with our monthly fundraiser night yesterday at the Pizza Ranch. We really appreciate the support!

Our members are out around Grand Forks today from 9 AM to 1 PM distributing poppies in honor of our fallen heroes. The red poppy is a powerful symbol of remembrance and hope, paying tribute to those who gave their lives in service to our country.

Keep an eye out for our volunteers at local businesses and community spots. Donations are welcome and go directly toward supporting local veterans and their families.

Please consider wearing a poppy this Memorial Day weekend—and take a moment to remember those who never made it home.

Thank you for helping us honor their memory.

On Monday afternoon, American Legion Post 6's Vice Commander Chris Davis had the honor of presenting a $250 donation to the Grand Forks Veterans Treatment Court in support of their incredible work assisting veterans on their journey to recovery and reintegration.

As veterans, we understand the challenges that come with transitioning back into civilian life, and we proudly stand behind programs like the Veterans Treatment Court that provide structure, support, and a path forward for those who have served our country.

We believe that no veteran should have to navigate these challenges alone, and we are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to a program that embodies the Legion’s commitment to veterans helping veterans.

Thank you to everyone involved in this vital program. We look forward to continuing our support and partnership in the future!

Dear Friends and Community Members,

Due to inclement weather, we regret to inform you that our Memorial Day ceremony at Memorial Park North Cemetery has been cancelled. The safety and comfort of our attendees, participants, and volunteers are our top priority.

While we are deeply saddened that we cannot gather in person to honor our Veterans as planned, we encourage everyone to take a moment today to remember and reflect on the sacrifices made by our brave servicemen and women. Their dedication and valor are forever in our hearts.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to commemorating together at future events.

Stay safe and well,
The American Legion Post 6

Legionnaire Gary Spicer (AKA Santa Claus) welcomed grownups and kids alike to Pizza Ranch in Grand Forks during our latest Post 6 Fundraiser on Dec 13.

Santa had the best time of us all meeting and greeting and chatting with each and every customer that came through the door. He even had some gifts in his bag for the little ones to their surprise.

Funds raised will be used for multiple community projects that we help and support, i.e., Food Bank, the Northern Mission, and the Grand Forks Seniors Center. Needless to say, he made "Believers" of us all this Christmas season. Thanks, Gary!

🚒🇺🇸 Hello to all our American Legion Post 6 Family and Friends! 🇺🇸🚒

It's a day of joy and pride as we take a moment to celebrate a local hero. Over the weekend, Grand Forks' own Master Sergeant Brian Maas received well-deserved recognition for his unwavering commitment to our community.

We are thrilled to share that MSgt Maas was awarded the prestigious 2022 Firefighter of the Year award at BOTH the district and regional levels! This is a testament to his remarkable dedication, relentless bravery, and the countless hours he devotes to safeguarding our community.

MSgt Maas' work reminds us of the bravery and selflessness exhibited by many within our community, including our own post members. His courage under fire (literally!) embodies the true spirit of service that we hold dear in the American Legion.

So, let's take a moment to applaud MSgt Brian Maas for this well-earned recognition! It's an honor to have such a dedicated firefighter serving Grand Forks. His commitment to protecting our community embodies the shared values we all cherish. 🎖️🚒

🇺🇸 Greetings, American Legion Post 6 Family and Friends! 🇺🇸

We're excited to announce an inspiring chapter in our ongoing efforts to encourage the spirit of leadership and civic responsibility in our younger generations! This year, Post 6 has proudly sponsored two exceptional young men to attend Boys State!

Boys State is a unique program that seeks to mold our nation's future leaders by offering firsthand experience in government operations. These young men will take part in a week-long program where they will learn about the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of franchised citizens. Through exercises in self-government, they will develop a better understanding of the structure of federal and state governments and strengthen their leadership skills.

Our selected Boys Staters are among the most promising students in our community. We're beyond proud to support their journey as they explore the complexities of leadership and citizenship. We have no doubt that this experience will leave an indelible mark on their futures and positively contribute to their growth as civic-minded individuals. 🌟
