Do You Remember?
Do you remember when your unit was under fire? You were scared. You didn't know whether you would ever get home again, see your family, your loved ones. And the only thing that you could count on in that instant was your buddy. And you knew he was counting on you too.
Perhaps you never saw combat. Do you remember the tediousness of garrison life? Do you remember the interminable hurry up and wait? Do you remember the inane make-work projects you were ordered to do? But your buddy was always there along side you, making the wise-crack, helping you make it though each day, maybe even covering for you on occasion.
It is often difficult to share your experiences with people who only know about military life from watching movies or playing video games. Legionnaires get it. We've stood those long watches. We've deployed. We've stood inspection. We sometimes just need a buddy to listen. Just like you.
Your buddy still needs you!
Maybe your buddy is in one of the VA hospitals; his war wounds and/or time have taken its toll on his body. Maybe he or she is a young veteran, just discharged from service in Iraq or Afghanistan and is having difficulty finding a civilian job. Maybe your buddy is just an ordinary guy or gal like yourself, wanting to share stories and comradeship with someone who was in a similar situation.
The American Legion is the place for you to help your buddy and for your buddy to help you. Founded in 1919, it is the largest veteran's organization in the United States with over 3 million members.
We are veterans just like you. We care about America, our fellow veterans. our families and our children. As a member of our Post we continue to serve our God, our Country and our Community. Your Post needs you now.
Our Legionnaires participate in many community activities such as parades, memorials, dedications, etc.
We are honored to provide final salutes to veterans who have reported to the ultimate headquarters, at the family's request. Our funeral detail is available to all veterans in the Granby area.
We sponsor local students to participate in Boys State and Girls State, sponsor scholarships to better educate our children.
AMERICA NEEDS YOU - JOIN NOW
