“(House) Res. 670 helps to recognize this extraordinary organization, whose members not only fought to protect our country, but chose to continue to serve it long after their military service ended,” Halvorson added.

American Legion Paradise Post #149 Las Vegas What makes your town a Legiontown? It’s quite simple really. The ‘Legiontown’ designation occurs wherever Legion family members dedicate themselves to a cause greater than themselves. This year, on Sept. 16, in communities large and small, that dedication is celebrated with the first-ever American Legion Day.

It was on that date in 1919 when the Legion received its federal charter to serve and support America... See More’s veterans, their families, children and youth.A new Web site called Legiontown USA -- www.legion.org/legiontown -- offers members of the Legion, Auxiliary, Sons of The American Legion and supporters an opportunity to upload stories and photos that show how local posts are making big differences in their communities.This collection of words and images will serve as a massive tapestry of Legiontowns across America.

Legiontown examples are everywhere. It occurs every time a Legionnaire visits patients in a VA hospital. It occurs when members pay final respects during a veteran’s funeral. It occurs when a storm-stricken American Legion post converts itself into a makeshift emergency shelter of when a post sponsors a baseball team that realizes how you win is as important as if you win. It occurs when Legion posts, civic leaders and military leaders sign community covenants, an

and pledge mutual support.

Legiontown members live by the words of Legionnaire and former President John F. Kennedy, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Many Legiontown members are unsung heroes, but visibility can help Legiontowns become even more effective. Moreover, publicity can encourage other communities and posts to emulate your Legiontown, adding significant value to other communities and the nation as a whole.

Those wishing to submit information are limited to 2,000 characters per entry, or a little more than 300 words, and one photograph.... See More
Selected submissions from the site will be used for The American Legion’s full-color annual Legiontown USA report, which is distributed at the national convention and other venues.
