Why You Should Belong

I guess that is what we all ask when it comes to this or any other organization. With everything that we have to do in our lives, why would anyone want to spend their time, monies and energy joining another organization?

Over the last 90 years since our formation, we have had a major influence on the course of American history. The GI Bill, written and named by Legionnaires, provides education, economic, small business and home ownership assistance to all veterans who qualify.

We also continue to work with our elected officials at all levels of government to restore veteran's benefits and to upgrade those benefits so those who served and their families will be taken care of, just as they were promised.

We also are taking care of our future; our children. We have programs that focus on education, drug awareness, child literacy, scouting, baseball and flag education.

We are also supporting our deployed troops and their families through our Family Support Network. Temporary Financail Assistance and The American Legion Legacy Scholarship.

An American Legion Post is, basically, American taking care of Americans. As a Legion member, you will open an unending catalog of opportunities to expand your life and utilize your unique talents. We beleive you will find this organization is worthy of your time, talents and energy. And, you will truly know "Why You Should Belong" to The American Legion!
