Atlanta's Post 140 Buckhead of The American Legion, Department of Georgia, 5th District - veterans serving veterans and our community, since 1936!

[Governor Brian P. Kemp @GovKemp]

Our freedom is not free, something we should all reflect on this Memorial Day. Today we remember our service members who gave their lives for that freedom and our Gold Star Families as we pray for those who continue to serve.

[Post140 Buckhead @Post140Buckhead]

On Memorial Day, we honor those who gave everything for our freedom.

We remember. We never forget.

[U.S. Army @USArmy]

Memorial Day and Veterans Day hold two very different meanings. 🇺🇸

Tomorrow, we honor those who lost their lives in service to our nation. In November, we thank the living veterans who served.

Share this to help remind Americans of the difference.

Today is set aside for you. But you deserve our love, respect & thanks every day of the year.
A happy #MothersDay to all the moms out there. Special thoughts to those deployed and unable to share their special day with loved ones, and those with sons & daughters currently deployed.

Among pending legislation we support is a bill that would require the president to define veteran success & to develop & implement a “National Veterans Strategy.”
We testified on that & other pending legislation last week before @SVACDems/@SVAC.

Private Bennett Hubert Waters lost his life bravely defending our nation during World War II. After 81 years, he has finally returned home and will be laid to rest on Saturday, April 4. As we reflect on his heroism and sacrifice, I am ordering flags at the Capitol and in Pierce County to be lowered in his memory.
