American Legion National Commander James A. LaCoursiere Jr. of Connecticut is coming to Forest Lake and will speak on issues of importance to Minnesota veterans.

LaCoursiere is strongly committed to raising awareness for The American Legion’s 
“Be the One” efforts to prevent veteran suicide.

“It is the most significant issue facing veterans,” he told the national convention after being elected in August. “It is the most significant issue of our time. It’s also an issue that galvanizes all of us. I know that we are all touched by someone who has taken their own life.”

Social hour, dinner and presentation starting at 5 p.m

Any local residents or Post 225 members wishing to attend can contact Terry Larson at 651-464-2600 Ext. 308.
