Legion to break ground

Walhalla American Legion Post Commander Harold Welborn says, “A long overdue dream of a lot of area veterans is about to start coming true.”  Post 124 announces ground-breaking takes place at 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon, August 30  at the new building site.  The legionnaires hope the building lot next door to the office of Veterans Affairs Office will overflow with veterans and others.  The Legion Post started raising funds for the new building several years ago, but stepped up efforts when the Golden Corner Church family donated 2 and ½ acres of land.  An estimated $120-130 thousand is needed to complete the project.
