AMERICAN LEGION POST  #14 - BOZEMAN, MONTANA

Remembering Tragedy: American Legion Highway Markers Promote Safety

Greg Harbac is the Bozeman area coordinator for the American Legion of Montana’s White Cross Highway Fatality Marker Program and said the goal is to promote safety on Montana’s roads.

The program has been in operation for more than 60 years. According to the American Legion, the first marker was placed by Post No. 27 in Missoula. It was right after Labor Day weekend in 1952, and six people had been killed in accidents.

Bozeman responders, veterans remember 9/11 with downtown ceremony

Law enforcement officers, firefighters, veterans and others gathered in the American Legion as it rained outside to honor the first responders who went into burning buildings on Sept. 11, 2001, and those who continue to risk their lives.
