Reclaiming American Legion Post 82 for Veterans
If you just think of American Legion Post 82 on Gallatin as a great honky-tonk, you’re missing out on its real purpose, and given recent cuts to programs that serve veterans at the federal level, it’s a great time to learn what this place really does. Post commanders Shannon Rasmussen, Eric Rasmussen, and Josh Jordan join host Marie Cecile Anderson to talk about how they’re leveraging Nashville’s music scene — including celebrities like Jack White — to provide healing and community for their fellow veterans.
