This blog will help us to discover New Jersey together outside of our classroom adventures. The more we get out and explore our state, the more we can understand how where we are influences what we are.

One morning over break, I did not have my car. I had to get some groceries, and it was a nice day, so I decided to walk to ShopRite. As I was walking, I passed by a place I must have passed 100 times, but have never taken the time to look at. I passed by the Guy R. Bosworth American Legion post 140. I noticed the cannon right off the back and the bricks, but I was still not sure as to what this place was. I researched the information online, and I figured out that the American Legion provides support for American Veterans whether it be recognition, financial support, or finding jobs after the war. I also learned that on Veterans Day there is a ceremony that the mayor participates in. This is to remember and respect all those that served for our country. I think that it is amazing that we have an American Legion in our town because I think it is very important to value veterans because they dedicate their lives for the betterment of our lives. I believe that there should be more people contributing and supporting the American Legion as it is for a very noble cause and these people definitely deserve it.
