American Legion Auxiliary, Unit 716 members have been sending care packages overseas to deployed soldiers for quite some time now. The soldiers they’ve sent packages to are from the aviation unit at the Joint Forces Training Base in Los Alamitos making them family for some. Recently, the National Security Chairwoman of Unit 716 was presented with a check from the Sons of the American Legion for a $1,000. It cost about $40 to fill and ship one box overseas so the donation is quite the uplift for their cause. The American Legion Riders and Post 716 both donated to the cause as well.
