What the community thinks of the American Legion is just as basic as what the Legion post thinks of itself.
The American Legion exists only with the approval of our society, or a least a large segment of it. This is true
whether it's the national organization or a post. Each post is judged by the community. Its success or failure
reflects this judgement. A good post will encourage active participation by its members with other civic-minded
committees and organizations within the community. It will seek to participate whether or not the activity is
initiated by the Amerivan Legion.
A good post will know the needs of the community. It will know them by the simple process of planned
contacts by representative post members with other city officials, educators, welfare workers, community
leaders and other civic and fraternal groups. A legionaire who does a good job for for the community
deserves recognition and thanks from the post, whether it was a post sponsored activity or not.
Veterans' activities alone will not establish The American Legion as an asset in the eyes of the community
*********************
We have many great volunteers, but we could always use more to give a little relief to our present volunteers.
We have the reputation of being the most friendly organization in the area. This is due to the fact that our
members make everyone feel welcome when they walk through our doors.
THANKS TO ALL,
Your Commander
Bob Veach
