American Legion Post 38, the US Military Veteran 501(c)(19) non-profit organization based in Floresville, Texas, made a strong showing at the South Texas Home & Garden Show on Saturday, March 21, 2026. The popular event, held at the Lauro G. Deleon Floresville Event Center and presented by the Wilson County News, drew hundreds of local residents for vendor booths, workshops, live demonstrations, and community exhibits.
Our dedicated team of Legion and Auxiliary volunteers staffed the recruitment table all day, sharing information about veteran services, community programs, and the many benefits of membership. The results were outstanding: two new members joined The American Legion and eight new members signed up for the American Legion Auxiliary!
The American Legion Auxiliary is the vital partner that multiplies everything Post 38 is able to accomplish. Under the motto "Service Not Self," Auxiliary members support the Legion through hands-on programs including the iconic Poppy Program (which raises funds for disabled and hospitalized veterans), youth patriotism initiatives such as Girls State, volunteer work at VA hospitals, care packages for deployed service members, community service projects, and strong advocacy for veterans' rights and benefits. Their tireless efforts allow the Legion to focus on our core mission while the Auxiliary handles critical support that directly benefits veterans, their families, and the entire Floresville community.
