LYNCHBURG, Va. – Memorial Day is right around the corner, and River Ridge is honoring our servicemen and women with a community pop-up from American Legion Post 16 geared toward raising donations to support Veterans, active-duty military members, and their families. There will also be a lineup of military discounts and in-store promotions.
On May 24, American Legion Post 16 will be at River Ridge from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. near Sunglass Hut and Kay Jewelers. While there, they will be on-site giving out red poppies and collecting donations. The poppy is widely recognized as a symbol of sacrifice and remembrance, reminding Americans of the bravery and selflessness of our Veterans in protecting our freedoms. The funds will be used to help provide critical medical assistance through the American Legion Auxiliary’s outreach efforts.
