On 13 November 2024 in a ceremony at the Middle Township High School, Post Commander Tom McCullough, on behalf of the members of American Legion Post 331, presented a $7,000 donation to representatives of the Middle Township High School Navy National Defense Cadet Corps.
Post 331 has been an active supporter of the Cadet Corps for several years. These funds are used by the Corps for visits to our service academies, military installations, and other military-orientated field trips. In June for the first time this year, Post 331 also presented a Naval Cadet Achievement Award of $1,000.
The award was presented to Cadet Lieutenant Commander Katie Grayson as the most improved cadet. The program at the high school is managed by Staff Sergeant William Neill, (USMC-Retired). American Legion Post 331 is composed of veterans mostly from Avalon and Stone Harbor and provides donations to its local communities and veterans in need throughout Cape May County.
