A cold and rainy day in late May did not deter Post 46 (DC) from its obligations! The intrepid Legionnaires distributed more than 300 poppies to both American and International visitors to The National Mall.

We had a great day educating many on the significance of the Poppy and how we integrate it into our Memorial Day observances.

The American Legion Honors and Remembers!

With Joe Spruill, Christopher Herndon, Marcus Bowers, Greg Beeker, Nathan Bein, and Larry Kamon.
