Building Bridges of Hope
Our Story
The French people still hold our Heroes who fell in France in WW1 in high Regard.
CRAWFORD CREWS, AUSTIN BARNES, ALONZO MILLS, AND BENJAMIN SMITH, were all from Montclair. Post #251 is much like a shrine. We take it very seriously, as we do all who gave their lives.
