(KNZA)--Hiawatha's Homer White American Legion Post 66 has initiated a plan to recognize local citizens or organizations who have been supporting/recognizing Veterans and/or Veteran events in the community.

Chaplain Robert Sines said the Post will be presenting a Certificate of Appreciation to deserving individuals and organizations throughout the coming months.

The first recipient was Deann Goodwin, who was presented her Certificate of Appreciation on April 5. Sines said Post 66 recognized Goodwin for her many years of dedicated support for veterans.

The Homer White Post over the last 11 years has gathered needed items for veterans and delivered them to the Leavenworth VA Medical Center residents. Sines said Goodwin has hand made and prepared containers of lap blankets, bed covers, stocking hats and other personal items during these years.
