The American Legion and Battlefields Post #144 are committed to service “for veterans, their families, and their community, state, and nation.” Community Service—whether support for job fairs, citizenship awards in middle schools, or help for injured veterans and the children of those killed in action—drives and informs all of our activities, as you can see in these slideshow albums.

Memorial Day and the annual Wreaths Across America ceremonies are especially important to Legionnaires. It is more than symbolic; it is the day when we remember those with whom we served who are no longer with us. Each year, Battlefields Post #144 participates in services at the Virginia War Memorial and the Wreaths ceremony at Seven Pines National Cemetery.
