The American Legion J.A. Garcia Post 172 will hold its next Social meeting on Wednesday, September 23, at 7 p.m. All members are encouraged to attend. 

Planning is underway for the upcoming Veterans Day Parade and observance in Mercedes, with members of the local committee preparing for the annual community event. 

The Veterans Day program meeting was held Sept. 15, with the Veterans Day Committee beginning preparations and meetings for the event. More details about the Veterans Day program, donation opportunities and upcoming events are expected as planning continues. 

The Legion is welcoming donations for the repair of the roof and air conditioning. 

Stop by and see the mural in commemorating J.A. Garcia and the great wars and tribute to the soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending freedom. 

Join the Post for Fish Fry Friday and dinner on Tuesday for Fried Chicken & Burgers. 

The Post repaired the roof after sustaining water damage from heavy rains that fell earlier this month. Due to the severity of the leaks, an emergency decision was made to proceed with repairs. 

To make a donation to the American Legion to help repair the Hall, contact Tony Sanchez at 956-565-2362.
