I want to share an article from the 10 June 2026 edition of the Sequoyah County Times on page A7 about James Limbaugh. He was one of the young men who went to the American Legion Oklahoma Boys State and that same year he went the the American Legion Boys National. On page A9 you can see an article about the young men who went to Boys State and the young women who went to Girls State. James is one example of the possibilities that can be available to those who attend Boys State and Girls State.

This photo of a sign at the Sallisaw Veterans Center of Oklahoma was taken by one of our post's members a few days ago. It mentions "A Day of Remembrance" ceremony to be held on 29 April 2026 at 1 pm to honor the veterans of our community who have recently passed.
