The American Legion will be hosting a Watch fire - The Watchfire stems from the military tradition that following a battle or long march, a large fire would be started so those missing or lost could locate and rejoin their comrades. Using that time honored model, we symbolically use the warmth and light of our Watchfire to guide everyone to join us in reflection of those comrades who have gone before us making our nation strong through their service and sacrifice. Eric to watch one of these is breathe taking and to see them march up from the lake at the legion and the timing it is a must see for anyone to see.......there will be food for purchase 5.00 for a meal.....come and experience it you will never forget
