American Legion District 3

This episode on Community Conversation for Northeast Nevada, host Megan Ray sits down with special guests Brenda Horton, Shawn Horton, and Brian Riley from American Legion District 3 and Post 7 in Elko. In this episode, we take a closer look at the mission of the American Legion and the important role it plays in supporting veterans, their families, and communities across Northeastern Nevada. Our guests share insight into membership opportunities for veterans, what it means to be part of the Legion, and why involvement is so important—especially in rural communities. We also highlight the Sons of the American Legion (SAL) and the American Legion Auxiliary, discussing who can join, how these programs operate, and the impact they have through volunteerism, youth programs, and community service. Plus, learn how you can support their See’s Candy fundraiser, with proceeds helping fund local programs, outreach efforts, and continued support for veterans in our area. Whether you’re a veteran, a family member, or someone looking to give back locally, this episode offers a meaningful look at how you can get involved and make a difference.
