“Kenosha Cares for Vets”, sponsored by the American Legion Post 21 family, has partnered with Kenosha Area Family and Aging Services (KAFASI) to provide more services to more people. The mission is to help area Veterans with everyday necessities, advocacy – and more importantly create meaningful connections.

Through this partnership, we will provide Veterans in need:

• Conversation and connections (in-person, by phone, or virtually)
• Personal care needs, clothing, books, games, food, etc.
• We’ll help you navigate programs such as housing, Veteran Services, Social Security, small home repairs, or other benefits.

If you are a Veteran in need, please contact our partners:

American Legion Post 21 has partnered with Kenosha funeral homes to provide “One Last Honor” for deceased Veterans and retired American flags in our community.

The “One Last Honor” program was designed to patriotically retire American flags surrendered to the Legion by Kenosha residents, while honoring Veterans and flags with one last patriotic act. Families of deceased Veterans may choose to bury a retired flag with the Veteran or include one in the cremation.

We are so grateful for our partners that provide Veterans one last honor and retire flags with dignity.

• Proko Funeral Home
• Piasecki Funeral Home and Cremation Services
• Bruch Funeral Home
• Kenosha Funeral Services

We never forget the sacrifice of our Veterans, and the meaning of the flag. Our freedom is the result of the sacrifice of Veterans, and we are grateful.

Flags may be placed in the American Legion drop box located at 504 58^th Street, Kenosha.
