Commander Tyer (R) had a chance to visit Elizabethton on 27 March. The Commander of Post 49 (L), Paulette Baldwin, took him to visit Mr Hicks, an 86-year-old Veteran displaced by flooding from Hurricane Helene in September 2024. Post 49 began a relief operation in October 2024 to support the survivors and Post 115 began a partnership with them, for that purpose. After Mr Hicks home was rebuilt, in August 2025, Post 115 provided necessary furniture for Mr Hicks to move back into his home. Mr Hicks was quite receptive to the visit and very appreciative of our efforts.

Boys State is a nationally recognized American Legion program which gathers delegates from across the state to form a fictional state, elects leadership to run its municipalities, and ultimately elects a governor, who usually represents the state at Boys Nation. The American Legion Auxiliary promotes a similar program called Girls State.
Eligible students may be selected after completing their Junior year, only, and graduates are viewed by universities and service academies similarly to Eagle Scout and Gold Star achievers.
