To all our soldiers spending this New Year far from home and family, please know you are never forgotten. While many celebrate in warmth and comfort, you stand watch with quiet strength and dedication. Your sacrifice is felt more deeply than words can express, and your presence means safety and peace for so many others. May you be protected wherever duty takes you, may strength stay with you through every step, and may you return home safely to those who love you. Happy New Year and safe travel.

Christmas Message from the Judge Advocate American Legion Post 88 – Norman, Oklahoma

Dear Members and Friends of Post 88,

As we gather with family and friends to celebrate this Christmas season, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your continued service, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the values we uphold as Legionnaires. This time of year reminds us of the importance of community, fellowship, and the bonds we share through our shared experiences and our devotion to supporting veterans, their families, and our great nation.

May this season bring you peace, joy, and moments of reflection on the blessings we enjoy. Let us also keep in our thoughts those who are deployed, those who are no longer with us, and those who may be facing challenges during the holidays. The strength of Post 88 has always come from its members, and I am proud to stand alongside each of you.

Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with health, hope, and renewed purpose.

With respect and appreciation,
Suzanne Ashmore
American Legion Post 88 Norman, Oklahoma
