Natalie Rangeloff was presented with the Good Deed Award from the American Legion Auxiliary for her support and dedication to Western ND Honor Flight veterans. She makes first aid kits for every veteran on the Honor Flight as well as mailing out July 4th cards to remember them.

You can also find other great ideas such as:
• Star Spangled Kids
• National Poppy Poster Contest

Looking ahead, let’s get ready for Purple Up for Military Kids in April!

Whatever your Unit can do, let’s do it! Nominate an amazing local youth, volunteer at a nearby school, deliver ALA coloring books, show you

care! Let’s help the youth in our communities and pass on the torch of patriotism!
