The na tional honorary committee is composed of the highest leaders in public life, busi ness, the arts, sciences, labor and indus try. General Pershing, the cabinet mem bers, the ranking officers of the army, ’ navy and marine corps are included; so universal has been the approval of the Legion's purposes.

His Eminence, Carnidnl William Henry O'Connell, of Boston, was one of the first to contribute to the American Legion’s $5,000,000 Endowment Fund. The check for SIOO accompanied an acceptance of membership on the national honorary ex ecutive committe for the campaign. In a letter to James A. Drnin, national com mander of the Legion, his e.miuence wrote: “I am pleased to have the opportunity of giving a word of commenedation to the r work of the American Legion Endow ment Fund for Disabled Men and the Orphans of Veterans. ‘•Brnve men left their homes a few years ago to uphold the high principles of the American people. Many of them made the supreme sacrifice and many more are disabled for life. It is our duty now to remember the disabled vet erans who were injured in a national cause together with the indigent orphans of veterans and to assist them in their need. "I feel confident that our people will not ignore their obligation in this regard and will give wholehearted endorsement to your purposes for they desire to share iBEsa 11 ™ | country”!
