Still serving America is the motto of The American Legion. It is veterans who continue their service to America by still serving their communities. Veterans whose involvement in the community creates and supports the feeling of camaraderie which makes The American Legion the largest and the most respected organization of wartime veterans.
The following are just a few of the ways our members are Still Serving America;
Needy children and families received more than $6 million in cash and goods.
Deserving high school students were awarded $3.8 million in college scholarships.
Local charity campaigns received over $10 million in donations.
Legion members donated over 2 million hours of service to their communities.
Legion Posts provided over $2 million in emergency aid to veterans last year.
Over $30 million was spent by the American Legion and its affiliated organizations for the benefit of children and youth last year.
Legionnaires across the country donated almost 2 million hours each year to the VA's Voluntary Service Program, helping veterans who are patients in VA medical facilities.
The Legion's Family Support Network has helped thousands of family members of reserve military personnel called to active duty with every day needs, from simple household repairs to financial assistance.
That's veterans "Still Serving America". It's people helping people. It's Americans taking care of America. And the impressive part of the activities cited above is the fact that they were achieved by only half the Legion's 15,000 chartered Posts!

go to the Let's Say Thanks website, select a card, select or write a personal message to be printed on the card, and submit it.
Your card will be printed and sent to a randomly selected soldier somewhere in the middle east.
Any Soldier dot com will give you information about what to send, how to send it, and where to send it to - for anything from sending a care package to a soldier serving
in the combat zone to just sending cards or letters. You can select a service to send the items to or just randomly select an address. Please read the instructions
that tell what items are needed and what items are forbidden before sending anything.
