Early morning fire causes major damage to American Legion Edward C. DeSaussure Post 9 on New Kings Road in Jacksonville, Florida.  Investigation reveals that the fire was set following a break-in and theft that morning. Much of the loss and damage is not covered by insurance.

Post 9 members are appealing to our veterans friends and family to make a donation to help us restore our Post and continue the help that we offer our fellow veterans as well as our community.

If you would like a receipt for your donation for tax purposes, please email our Post Commander, Mrs. Lena Heredia- Perez at [email redacted].
