FUELED BY COMMUNITY SPIRIT

 The American Legion Legacy Riders will ride through Monroe County on Sunday, June 29, 2025, after leaving Hannibal, Missouri. These dedicated riders, on both two-wheel and trike motorcycles, travel rain or shine to support veterans and their families. They will ride through Monroe City to Paris and southward on Highway 15. They should be in Paris around 9:30am. Join us and support by being on Main Street in Paris with your American Flags waving!
For 18 years, the American Legion Legacy Riders have journeyed across the nation, rallying communities to their cause. The sight of flag-waving supporters lining streets and overpasses, cheering as our riders pass by, continues to fuel this mission. 
Since its inception in 2006, The American Legion Legacy Run has raised $16 million for The American Legion Legacy Scholarship Fund. These funds have provided over 6.2 million dollars in scholarships to support the higher education of children who lost a parent in active military service on or after September 11, 2001, or whose post-9/11 parent has a VA disability rating of 50% or higher. 
Thanks to the enduring success of the Legacy Scholarship Fund -- now self-sustaining for the foreseeable future -- the Legacy Run expanded its mission in 2024 to begin fundraising for The American Legion Veterans & Children Foundation (VCF). This new chapter ensures we continue addressing the evolving needs of veterans and military families. 
None of it would be possible without the unwavering support of local Legion posts, businesses, city officials, and law enforcement.
