Clay County is now a Purple Heart Community
Investment in youth, investment in future
Our post has decided to send a youth from Clay County to Space Camp in 2024. While Space Camp is not an American Legion program, Children and Youth is a pillar of the Legion.
We are planning to send two young men to Tar Heels Boys State.
The JSSP program continues to grow and improve, teaching safety, leadership, sportsmanship, and comradeship.
We will once again have the school medal at the local schools. While we only presented 4 in 2023, we will be presenting 8 in 2024. The award is given to a boy and a girl in the graduating classes of elementary school, junior and senior high school, and college. Those who receive a medal must exemplify six qualities that define character: courage, honor, leadership, patriotism, scholarship and service.
