Bitner-Bechdel Post 623 of the Beech Creek American Legion received the 2025 Community Service Award during the 106th Annual Convention, on July 20, in Harrisburg, Pa. Department Commander John Fritz and Community Service Committee Chairman Richard Craig presented the Award to Past Commander Steven M. Heverly of Post 623. Heverly stated, “It’s not a me thing, but a we thing. If it wasn’t for the present membership and community support this would never happen.” Items such as having fundraisers to purchase a wheelchair for a local veteran who had two tours in Iraq, paying for a ramp for a Vietnam Veteran to enter his home, visiting the Hollidaysburg VA Home annually with the Lindy Sisters to provide donations as well as entertainment, providing support information through local events, being able to make donations to our local fire company, Horses for Hope, Camp Cadet, Special Olympics, Art Post Awareness, the VA Cancer in Altoona, Pa., and to include supporting our Local Boy Scouts and The Legion Baseball Teams. Everyone from the Post 623 wants to thank you for your support and would like to invite you to the Open House to be scheduled in September 2025.

Starting at $3.69/week.
