January 22, 2010 AMERICAN LEGION BIRTHDAY CAN BE A WINDOW DISPLAY What does your community as a whole know about The American Legion? The late 1980's and early 1990's have seen The American Legion experience rapid growth. But the growth also calls for additional commitment to share The American Legion story. And what better time to tell the story than during the Legion's 91 st Birthday in March?In March, The American Legion celebrates 91 years of service to the United States and to thousands of communities around the nation. But, while knowledgeable legionnaires are aware of their organization's purposes, other citizens might well ask, “What does The American Legion mean to me?" Since 1919, the men and women of the Legion have dedicated themselves to doing whatever they could for those less fortunate than they. It was the Legion which saw the need for meaningful activities for the nation's youth. Through support for the Boy Scouts, American Legion Boys' State and Boys' Nation (and parallel programs sponsored by The American Legion Auxiliary), Student Trooper Program, American Legion Baseball, and countless other localized programs, the Legion has taught the values of good sportsmanship and responsible citizenship. Many an American Legion Post has been a pacesetter in community involvement. Once way of telling your community about The American Legion and its programs is a display(pictures, awards, scout or baseball uniforms, etc.) put in a store front window downtown or a shopping center.
