Conner presents checks

Bill Conner, Kentucky Area A Vice Commander, presents National Commander checks totaling more than $4,900 from Kentucky during the Legacy Fund collections. More than $600,000 was raised this year making total efforts more than $2,000,000 since the fund began in 2006.

The Legion Riders have been responsible for most of this money with a great portion coming as a result of the annual Legacy Run which starts in Indianapolis and ends at the National Convention.
