The Attica American Legion

I was really lucky to make this photo here. I walked across the street to make this picture and waited for a pedestrian to walk in front of the building. I made the photo and tried to wait for the flag to unfurl a little. By the time I made my way back to my car across the street a couple of vehicles pulled up to unload things into the legion. These are busy places with all kinds of events that happen in them. I lucked out making this image before one started.

American Legion Week

What better week to take a look at some American Legion buildings than this week? The legion was founded with patriotism in mind, and you don’t see as much patriotism as you do this week. Beyond being a way to help promote patriotism the legion also is an advocate for veterans. They were a key part in the G.I. Bill getting passed.
