American Legion War Tour

Today the AVID group went to the American Legion where they have allowed our group access for twenty years free of charge, to cook and have class. Today we had a tour of the museum at the top of the building where we met retired war captain Carl who has been collecting war items from every veteran he finds. We saw some memorabilia dating back to the civil war. For example, we saw old decorated war uniforms and used weapons from various wars all the way back to WW1. During the end of the tour Carl talked to us about the values of war. He believes that America gives you the freedom that every country should allow. Citizens to have freedom of speech and a voice is what he went to Vietnam to fight for. The tour really helped our group understand why we should respect our veterans.
