Officers and chairperson from the ALA Unit 421 will never email send out emails requesting members purchase gift cards. If you have received such an email, please contact James Seipel, President of ALA Unit 421.

BE AWARE: Several leaders have had scammers create email addresses using their name and position. This week alone, Finance Chairman Bonnie Stroup Axtell and District 2 President Cindy Ward has had this happen. Officers and Chairpersons WILL NEVER ask you to purchase gift cards via email. It is a scam. Do your due diligence and verify before completing any such tasks requested via email. When in doubt, pick up the phone and call the leader to verify. Share the below graphic.

On Aug. 7, 1782, Gen. George Washington established the Badge of Military Merit, which later became the Purple Heart.

Today, we honor the servicemembers who were wounded or gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage and commitment will never be forgotten, and we are forever grateful for the sacrifices they made. 💜🇺🇸

Welcome Home, Andie!
Hometown Hero back in Silver Lake.

Silver Lake High School Class of 2024 graduate Andie McClendon is home from Japan for a short visit, bringing plenty of smiles to family and friends. His mom, Stacy, summed it up best: "Just for a visit, but we'll take it!"

After graduating from Silver Lake High School, Andie answered the call to serve our country by joining the United States Navy. He is currently serving on active duty and has been stationed in Japan.

While home, Andie is enjoying time with his parents, Brett and Stacy McClendon, and his brothers, Mack and Riggs, before returning to duty on July 22.

The Silver Lake community is proud of Andie's commitment and service to our nation. We hope he enjoys every moment of being back home with family, friends, and familiar faces before heading back overseas.

Welcome home, Andie—and thank you for your service! We wish you safe travels when it's time to return and look forward to seeing you back in Silver Lake again soon.
