AMERICAN LEGION RIDERS "LAST CAPITAL" CHAPTER – RIDERS DIRECTOR, STEVE WALKER The temperatures cooled off during the months of November and December, but Last Capital Chapter Riders didn’t!!! The riders helped the entire Post 325 family by assisting with various events like the Post Membership Stew, the Auxiliary Pinto Bean Supper, the monthly SAL Country Breakfasts, the Veterans Day dinner (provided by the combined area Auxiliaries @ Post 325) and the Auxiliary Christmas Supper. The main events for the Riders were riding in the Veterans Day Parade and hosting the 2024 Wreaths Across America event at Danville’s National Cemetery on Lee Street. Most importantly, the Riders were able to make Christmas a little brighter for four families by presenting them each with a check for $250!!!
