ALBION – Nikolas Mroz and Nancy Traxler of the Orleans County Veterans Service Agency are presented with a $1,000 check from Scott Carlton, squadron commander of the Sons of the American Legion in Medina. The donation goes toward the van service that takes veterans to medical appointments.

“The Sons salute the Joint Veterans Council, it’s staff and volunteers for providing veterans an indispensable means of access to needed medical care,” Carlton said. “We’re proud to continue funding this program as part of our advocacy for veterans.”

This is the 13th donation Squadron 204 has given, totaling $6,600.

The Sons of the American Legion was founded in 1932 as an organization within The American Legion, dedicated to preserving American traditions and values, improving the quality of life for our nation’s children, caring for veterans and their families, and teaching the fundamentals of good citizenship.
