Every day, nearly two million veteran volunteers support those who served in the nation’s armed forces through the efforts of nonprofit organization American Legion.
The nation’s largest network of wartime veterans, American Legion has 12,000 posts across the United States, according to the American Legion website.
Frisco is home to Post 178, one of the largest in Texas that serves Frisco and surrounding communities, including McKinney and Plano. Each post’s goal is to serve community veterans through financial aid, advocacy and other forms of support. Among the many programs, the post provides the Color and Honor Guard at community events, mentors youth and advocates for patriotism and citizenship, per the website.
Fred Rogers is a founding member of Post 178, a U.S. Air Force veteran and serves as a resource to the post’s leadership.
