📅 **Wednesday, November 11, 2026**
On Veterans Day, American Legion Post 257 invites our Loudonville community to join us in honoring the brave men and women who have served our nation.
Veterans Day is a time to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of those who answered our nation's call. These men and women **risked their lives to defend our country, protect our freedoms, and safeguard the peace we cherish.**
