9th annual Adopt a Sailor Navy Day

Greetings My Neighbors: You Are Welcome to Stop By and Greet the Sailors!

On Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26, Morton Grove American Legion Post 134 will be celebrating our 9th annual Adopt a Sailor Navy Day. We will host 50 recruits from Great Lakes. They will arrive at 8 a.m. by bus, donated by the Golf School District 67, who will also return them by 5 p.m.

Sailors will be greeted by Legion members, village officials, friends, and whomever else wishes to greet them and thank them for their service. There will be refreshments donated by Legion members, friends, and local merchants. They will be served a full Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. Entertainment will be available along with nationwide long distance and international phone service all day long, compliments of AT&T. Computers will also be available.

Sailors will have the opportunity to talk and email their loved ones throughout the day. After graduation many of these young men and women will be sent into harms way. The day’s events will be filmed and a DVD will be sent to their families.

We owe them a thank you for their service. Let’s show them a beautiful day to remember. We also contribute to and support the Comfort/Wounded Warrior Fund and other Veteran and active military activities with our donations. We take pride in entertaining our troops each year. We want to continue to support them if they should fall victim while in harms way.

Anyone wishing to make a donation please make checks payable to:
