The American Legion wants to now recognize some other heroes of our community. Each year, local Legion posts are encouraged to recognize public safety personnel for their service to the community. While the program is also a competition that recognizes Law Officers, Firefighters, Emergency Medical Technicians and Enlisted Guardsman/Reservists at County, District, State and National levels, it is primarily a program which honors these folks for doing their job 24/7 and protecting the citizens of their community.
