In addition to organizing commemorative events, volunteer veterans operating through The American Legion support activities and provide assistance at Veterans Administration hospitals and clinics. Our local American Legion Post 68 has been an invaluable asset to the Spanish Fork community. Not only do they regularly attend funerals for our local veterans they also visit each and every elementary school within Spanish Fork on Veterans day to honor our military personnel. The Legion is also one of the largest supporters of patriotism in the community. They place hundreds of memorial crosses at the cemetery on memorial day as well as host an heartfelt flag burning ceremony during Fiesta Days in Spanish Fork. What an amazing group of people, we are thrilled that they have chosen to be part of our Chamber of Commerce. What a fantastic group of men and women from our community. Thank you to everyone that came out to help us celebrate. And thank you to SF17 for filming, and to Macey's for the beautiful cake!
