American Legion National Commander James A. LaCoursiere Jr. of Connecticut is coming to Slayton 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.”
He will visit the 4-H Building at the Murray County Fairgrounds at 3048 Broadway Ave. for a lunch and presentation starting at 11:45 a.m. Friday, March 28, and talk with veterans, community leaders and local residents. The visit is hosted by Slayton American Legion Post 64. Any local residents wishing to attend can contact Post 64 Commander Brad Pagel at (605) 366-3025.Leg
