I presume all the non-mmrtbers have their excuses for staying out of the Legion but 1 hare the first sane excuse yet to hear. Somb may say that the Legion does not amount to anything. I am sure this would be the case if all Ex Soldiers thought so. A kit of carpenters tools would be worthless unless they could he used. The American Legion is also useless until we put it to some use. (The Balaker never pays you any interest until you have deposited money in his bank.

Any red blooded man should be proud to be a member of an organization; backed by the brains that won the I greatest war in the history of the world. The reasons for the existence of the American.
