Dir. Bennett shared about 3 groups that make PBS possible: @AmericanLegion, PBS Staff & most of all, our outstanding Jr & Sr Counselors. Tucker Hipps was selected as a counselor because he was one of the best. We are so appreciative for the support from TuckerGives.org!

We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal...
Signed in 1776, these words didn’t ring true for many in our nation until June 19, 1865 when Union troops rode into Galveston, TX to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation.
We celebrate Juneteenth today!
