On the last summer Saturday afternoon of the year some 60 supporters of Greenwich’s American Legion Post 29 were welcomed by Post Commander Peter Lebeau for the Post’s annual Barbecue Fundraiser behind the Tomes Higgins House next door to Christ Church. Along with Town officials, supporters were seen feasting around the tables, celebrating the Post, a leading veteran and patriotic organization in town conducting many events throughout the year.
The Legion supports veterans, their families, and the communities they serve by advocating for their needs, providing financial and disaster assistance, offering peer-to-peer resources and mental health support to combat veteran suicide, and supporting youth programs like Legion Baseball and scholarships.
