We are veterans just like you.Service to our veterans begins with our membership base.  Without members we would have no voice on Capitol Hill nor could we achieve the entitlements and support to our veterans, their families, their communities, our state and nation. 

Our service to veterans and their communities are manifested in our programs.  There are many to choose from our veterans, Children and Youth and Americanism programs.  Single theme or service posts can be drawing cards for starting new posts.  Legion officers at every level should be coaches, motivators and consultants in helping posts develop and maintain programs. 

Our Legionnaires, Auxiliay and Sons of the American Legion Members  participate in many community activities such as parades, memorials, dedications, etc.
