LEGION MEMBERSHIP A. RARE DISTINCTION
The American Legion has grown into the largest
veterans’ organization in this country’s and perhaps any
country’s history. It now numbers more than 1,600,000
fighting men and women of World Wars I and 11, more j
than 500,000 of them veterans of this war.
Yet large as the Legion is, it is a most exclusive!
organization. Neither money nor influence can buy a
membership. The doors of its 13,000 posts open only
upon the presentation of an honorable discharge fromj
wartime service. The Legion has no honorary member
ships.
This makes American Legion membership a coveted
possession. The Legion button is a badge of valor.;
There are many who would gladly buy membership in
the American Legion if they could.
Membership in the Legion is a recognition of indi
vidual investment in the future of the nation, and ol
individual sacrifice to defense of country. The Legior |
button stands for the bearer’s contribution in toil and
sweat, in drill and fatigue, in undergoing willingly dan
ger of death, in perhaps spilling his blood on a battle
field, all in the cause of the nation’s freedom.
The Legion has been so thoroughly identified with;
genuine Americanism that the Legion cap has, with no
other credentials, been a passport over the Internation-1
al Bridge at)El Paso, and has even gained admittance!
for its bearer to the White House.
ALL VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES are
urged to attend the next monthly meeting of the Ear
Horton Post which will be held at Micaville High School
on Tuesday Night, November 26th, 7:30 P. M. Also
all present members of the Post are urged to attend.
H. G. Bailey, Chairman, Ways and Means Committee,
will be in charge of the program. M. B. R.
