Honoring our deceased Legionnaires
Thank you to all that attended, helped and participated in the 89th Annual NJ American Legion Statewide Services this past Sunday.
It was a day of remembrance of our deceased Legion comrades and appreciation of the donation of the American Legion section at Locustwood Cemetery. Lest we forget.
  | Auxiliary Rocks the Statewide Social
The Post 372 Auxiliary unit, in it's usual rock star fashion, made the 89th Annual NJ American Legion Statewide Services Social at the Legion a great event - delicious food/drinks and desserts for over 100 guests that came back to our Post after the annual Memorial Services at Locustwood. Thank you to all those that helped set up, prepare, donated and cleaned up.

 | Volunteers Flag Calvary Cemetery for Memorial Day
On Saturday, just prior to Memorial Day, members of the American Legion Cherry Hill NJ, alongside of VFW Pennsauken, and Camden County Veterans Affairs Director Ted Gallagher and Cherry Hill Fire Department flagged all the veterans graves at Calvary Cemetery in Cherry Hill. This is a relatively new "annual" cemetery we will be flagging, we hope to get as many volunteers next year as we have for Locustwood and Colestown Cemeteries.
