7 Mar 2024: American Legion Post 29 Dinner & Presentation Meeting

Published on: 3/11/2024

The Horace Orr American Legion Post 29 in Marietta held its Dinner and Presentation Meeting on Thursday, 7 March 2024.  In addition to great food and fellowship, proceeds from the Veterans Memorial 5K Race/Walk held on November 11 2023 were distributed to its charity partners.  This year the Shepherd’s Men SHARE Initiative; the Georgia National Guard Foundation; and the Service Officer of Post 29 each received donations in the amount of $20,000.00!  This event continues to be amazing because of the Post Members, the Race Committee, and the very generous donors, sponsors and volunteers that participate and support this event that dates to 2015!

The Foundation presented The Minute Man photograph by Kristen Wilkinson that captures Daniel French’s statue located at the site of the Battle of Concord in Massachusetts with gratitude and appreciation to American Legion Post 29.
