Recognition of one of our own
Post 287 Family, it is my honor to congratulate Terry Beasley for being recognized as the Distinguished Legionnaire of the Year. Terry was selected from numerous outstanding submissions from around the State of Missouri. His history of selfless service to the Post, Riders, SAL, 40&8, Auxiliary and community set him above the other applicants. Terry's efforts and contributions have always been appreciated and now he is recognized for them. Please congratulate him when you see him.

Terry Beasley said that "Most people have no idea what local community service projects that we are a part of... unfortunately, we're the best kept secret in Andrew County. We would like to change that and get more people involved. It is very rewarding when you see the direct impact that we have on the lives that our efforts help improve."
Our members also serve in the American Legion Post 287 Honor Guard which provides military honors at the funerals of honorably discharged veterans of the armed forces.
Beasley said "We're an active group of dedicated guys and we would like nothing more than to welcome new members who can bring new ideas to our organization so that we can do even more for the Andrew County Community."
