Happy National Gold Star Mothers Day!

What a blessing to be part of such a great event! We love our heroes and our Gold Star Mother, Violet Kaylor, mother of Jon-Erik Loney.

U S Army Cpl Jon-Erik Loney lost his life in Hit, Iraq when an improvised explosive device detonated near to his vehicle. He was only 21 years old.

Violet Kaylor is a loved member of our American Legion Family. She has raised two exceptional young men that dedicated their lives to serving our country and our community. We are grateful to have her and her family as part of ours. 💕

I just received the arrangements from the family.

Roselawn 741 Danville Rd SW, Decatur, AL 35601

Visitation Wednesday 6 - 8p. Service Thursday 10a.

It is with our deepest regrets that we announce that our American Legion Family sister, Susan McClendon, has passed to heaven.
Susan and her husband Chuck, daughters Beth and Becky have been members of the American Legion Family of Post 15 for nearly 25 years. Susan and Chuck McClendon have been dedicated patriots, devoted Christians and a blessing to our community. She is also a past unit president and officer at multiple levels. Susan had truly never met a stranger.
We ask that you keep Susan, Chuck and the family/friends in your prayers.

This Friday, September 18th, 2026, is National POW/MIA Recognition Day. Around the U.S., many observances will have one table set apart from the rest. It’s small, dignified, and set for someone who isn't there.

It's called the Missing Man Table, and every object on it carries deliberate meaning:
The table itself is small, representing the frailty of one prisoner standing alone against his captors. A white tablecloth speaks to the purity of that person's intentions in answering the call to serve. A single red rose, often tied with a yellow or red ribbon, honors the blood that may have been shed — and the families who still bear witness, demanding their return. A slice of lemon and a scattering of salt on the bread plate mark a bitter fate and the tears of those left waiting. The glass sits inverted, since the missing cannot share in a toast. A Bible represents the faith that sustains those still hoping. The black napkin represents the plain truth that what became of them remains unknown. And an empty chair reserved for the missing.

The POW/MIA flag placed at this table exists as a reminder that more than 1,565 Americans remain unaccounted for from the Vietnam War alone and reflects only one conflict, among several, of which families are still waiting for answers.
