American Legion Copley Post 473

Attached you'll find a group photo of the American Legion Auxillary ALA Unit#473 Members who attended the field trip to Amherst (OH) Veteran Mural, painted by "Mike Sekletar."   Mike's father, "John" (acting as the Project Mgr.) met them there in-person to describe its inception and remarkable details, besides his on-going fundraising project of 'lighting the mural 24-7.'  Also attached is a picture of the entire wall...note the American Flag that projects from atop the building--it's awesome! 

For a time now, I have had 'a vision, a dream' for Copley's Veteran Post (CVP,) where someday (thru fundraising efforts) that its 'Building Front gets a face lift.'  After visiting Amherst's wall mural, it has re-lit my fire to make it come true.  Of course, a project as this would not come to fruition overnight; moreover, it would need approval from both sides of the house:  AL & VFW Veteran members.  I do plan to meet with CVP Officers about this, and certainly hope for the Auxiliary's backing if this project should ever take-off!
