WHY JOIN
THE AMERICAN LEGION?
Do You
Remember?
Do you remember when
your unit was under fire? You were scared. You
didn't know whether you would ever get home again, see your family,
your loved ones. And the only thing that you could count on in that
instant was your buddy. And you knew he was counting on you
too.
Perhaps you were
one of the lucky ones who never saw combat. Do you remember the
tediousness of garrison life? Do you remember the interminable hurry
up and wait? Do you remember the inane make-work projects you were
ordered to do? But your buddy was always there along side you,
making the wise-crack, helping you make it though each day, maybe
even covering for you on occasion.
Your buddy still needs you!!!
Maybe your buddy is
in one of the VA hospitals; his war wounds and/or time have taken
its toll on his body. Maybe he or she is a young veteran, just
discharged from service in the Gulf War or Bosnia and is having
difficulty finding a civilian job. Maybe your buddy is just an
ordinary guy or gal like yourself, wanting to share stories and
comradeship with someone who was in a similar
situation.
Your buddy still needs
you!!!
The American
Legion is the place for you to help your buddy and for your buddy to
help you. Founded in 1919, it is the largest veteran's organization
in the United States with over 3 million members.
Your buddy still needs
you!!!
