Our many thoughts turn
to those who are bravely serving our country in far-off lands. Along with
these brave men and women, let us also remember their families at home,
worrying for the safety of a father, a mother, a son or daughter at war. Let
us also remember the veterans of wars gone by who might be lonely,
hospitalized or on the streets. We can remember them with the gift of
belongingness: a membership in one of the American Legion Family service
organizations.
The American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary and Sons of The American
Legion stand united in patriotism and veterans advocacy. A gift membership
will brighten the day of anyone – from the active-duty service member to the
patriotic grandchild. Moreover, an affordable gift membership creates an
opportunity to bring families together all year long, through the vibrant
events and activities of the Legion Family, programs like Boys State and
Girls State, Oratorical Contests, American Legion Baseball, VA Volunteer
Service, Family Support Network and various troop-support efforts.
T he Legion Family is asking you to look at your family and friends. Is an
eligible member missing out? If so, sign him or her up, by filling out the
appropriate online forms. Let’s continue our growth, build on our momentum
and bring families together through the Legion Family of service
organizations.
