Two Local Veterans Awarded Founder’s Award
BY LORENZO A. FIORENTINO, MA-HSA MAJOR, MILITARY POLICE, U.S. ARMY (RET.) COMMANDER, AMERICAN LEGION 9TH DISTRICT COUNCIL COMMANDER, AMERICAN LEGION POST 335 PRESIDENT, CHICAGOLAND COMBINED VETERANS MUSEUM ADJUTANT, VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS POST 5979 FOUNDER, AMERICAN LEGION RIDERS 335
Most of us that are involved in Veterans’ efforts, do not do what we do for awards or notoriety, however, sometimes it is nice to be recognized.
The Sons of the American Legion is a critical component of Veterans’ support and efforts. Without them, it would be much more challenging to do what we do. On October 13, at our post meeting, I was able to present the Sons of the American Legion Founder’s Award to one of my dearest brothers, Richard Wojewnik. The awards were presented to me by Detachment of Illinois Commander Kevin O’Connell, on September 28th, at my American Legion 9th District Council meeting.
On March 31st, 2020, after nearly 50 years of not having a Son’s of the American Legion Squadron at American Legion 335, we were able to get the organization chartered!
Sons of The American Legion members include males of all ages whose parents or grandparents served in the U.S. military and were eligible for American Legion membership. If you are interested in being a member, please contact me at lorenzoafiorentino@yahoo.com.
