Post 331 Donates To Veterans Home Project

Posted November 18th 2024

The Veterans Memorial Home in Vineland received a donation of $15,000 from American Legion Post 331 on Sept. 23. Post 331 trustee Jon Ready and historian Art Faint went to the home to present the donation targeted for the home’s service flagpole plaza project and to discuss the various aspects of the project that could be supported by Post 331 and other American Legion posts within New Jersey.

Discussions were held with Melinda Willis, the home’s assistant CEO, and RJ Morrison, the home’s life enrichment manager and plaza project manager. The project is in the planning stage and would consist of creating a paver-based plaza for ceremonies and include the addition of six flagpoles displaying the service flags of the home’s resident military members. The Veterans Memorial Home has been providing long-term care services to New Jersey veterans from every war or armed conflict since the Civil War.
