August kicked off with presenting the Americanism award of the month to Guardian Garage. Each month a local business is honored for their support of the post or veterans overall. The Publicity Committee meets and discusses options for upcoming months. A meeting with the winner is scheduled, but details are not revealed until the plaque is presented. To date, none of the winners were expecting anything for what they do, which speaks to why they are honored. It is amazing what so many local businesses do for veterans. A salute to them in our community, and probably true to the businesses in your community as well.
