Legion Riders and Patriot Guard

      The Patriot Guard organization in Lake City has grown to 30 members. We are ready to ride or drive to any Veterans funeral that is protested by the hate group in Kansas. Membership is free; your help is beyond any set value. Call us if you are interested. Our main mission has been met; the Legislature after hearing what we accomplished at two Iowa funerals, passed laws prohibiting demonstrations close to funerals.

We have now started the Legion Riders Chapter in Lake City. The Riders are under the Charter of the Lake City Legion, post 31. We ride at funerals, to show support of Veterans and their families. Especially for those who have given their lives in support of the USA.

  M.R. McCaulley applied for a charter to start a Legion Post in Lake City in June of 1919. On June 27th a meeting was held to elect the officers in Post 31 and they were M.R. McCaulley, Dr. M.J. McVay, Warren Townsend, Don Herrick, David Titus and Clarence Zane. Only 30 other posts in the United States started before us.

  With 121 members The Legion has been involved in Community Service since its inception. At the start there were Baseball Leagues for kids, Golf tournaments for the members, and many other fundraisers. Now we also have Breakfasts and the ever-popular Feather Party (Bingo) at Thanksgiving.

  Our Fundraisers help to send 2-3 Juniors to Boys State, to help at Christmas time for the needy and to supply uniforms for our Funeral Squad at military funerals. Our Post, along with the VFW Post, put on the Memorial Day Service at the cemetery along with putting 500 small flags on all Veterans graves and flying 362 larger flags in the Avenue of Flags. The cemetery is something to see on Memorial Day with the flags and flowers. There is a fly over by the Iowa National Guard. The Veterans are proud, as they should be!
