For as long as I can remember this cannon, one of three on the property, has stood guard at the Legion home. Many a kid has climbed all over these former beast of battle. They remain as a reminder of more difficult times in out country's history when our men and women went in harm's way to protect the American way of life, to restore peace to the world, and to give hope the oppressed.
