Active-duty troops hit the ski slopes with Montana Legionnaires
The American Legion
Mar 10, 2021
Members of American Legion Post 91 in Corvallis, Mont., know the mental toll that military deployments, combat and reintegration can have on active-duty servicemembers. They also know the mental health benefits reaped from the outside beauty surrounding them in the state of Montana.
Over four days in late February, Post 91 hosted its first reconnect event for 10 active-duty servicemembers and their spouses with an all-expense paid trip to Montana for skiing, camaraderie and respite.
The servicemembers came from Joint Base Lewis-McChord outside of Tacoma, Wash., representing the U.S. Air Force Special Tactics Squadron, Army Rangers, Army Special Operations Aviation and 7th Infantry Division. Their invitation to join Post 91’s reconnect event was made with a phone call.

NEW PLYMOUTH – Every Idaho elementary school student knows fourth grade is a seminal year.
Not only is it the grade 9 and 10-year-olds reach upper-class status, but it is also when they learn about Idaho history and complete a months-long research project. For most students, that project entails Google and poster boards.
But Henry Black, a fourth-grader from New Plymouth, decided on a different route. Instead of learning about Idaho from a book, he opted to experience it on the slopes.
