Veterans' Remembrance

The Post continues to lay wreaths and flowers on patriotic holidays at the Courthouse monuments honoring all those from the Llano area that have served honorably in the Armed Forces of the United States and the war between the states.

Community Flags

The Post plans to help the downtown community in the display of American flags during patriotic holidays. Currently the flag holders and/or poles are in need of repair at many of the local businesses. Once this problem is corrected, more flags can be put on display.

Movies at the Lantex

The Post sponsors popular movies to be shown at the Lantex Theatre on the main square in Llano as a community service and fund raiser.

Llano Military News Group

The Post is a partner with the Llano Military News Group headed by Cindy Burleson. The Group recognizes and supports those from the local community now serving in the Armed Forces of the United States and are stationed here and abroad.

Welcome to the Llano Military News Group

My name is Cindy Burleson and I am chairman of the Llano Military News Group.

Our group honors local Llano County Active Duty Soldiers.  To date Llano County has 55 Active duty Soldiers serving our Country.  To be including on this list each Soldier must have graduated Llano High School. 

Each year the Llano Military News Group had a Rally on the courthouse square on Armed Forces Day.  This is to bring recognition and to honor our Local Soldiers.

In the past few years the Military group has hand made signs to post on the courthouse lawn during the rally.  These signs are made of paper and are tossed each year.  This has been a lot of work on the group.  This year we have had an offer by a local sign company to make plastic signs that can be stored and reused each year.  The American Legion has agreed to keep the signs for the Military Group until they are needed. 

Each sign is costing 25.00 each for a total of 1375.00.  The Military News Group is in need of monetary donations to help purchase signs to display our Soldiers names. 

 This years Armed Forces Day Rally is May 20th at 1:00 PM on the Courthouse Square. 

 Thank you so much for your support in Honoring our Soldiers!
