Proud members of Post 300, Afton, Mo.

 

The American Legion was my second family

Shepherdsville, KY

American Legion Post 300 members and the 10th District in St. Louis were my second family My father and mother, Anthony and Shirley Bommarito, were very proud and known members and very involved until they passed away.

I remember when I was young, taking in soldiers from West Point for summers when they came to town, and I still remember the preamble to the constitution. I also remember carrying a flag in a Memorial Day parade and my eagle getting stuck in a tree.
