Applications for the 2012 American Legion National College now are available online. The college takes place Oct. 28 to Nov. 2 at National Headquarters in Indianapolis.

National Legion College enhances knowledge and appreciation of The American Legion, and teaches the core values and contributions of the organization, its Auxiliary, Sons of The American Legion and many subordinate programs. The National Legion College prepares Legionnaires for leadership positions in posts, districts, counties and departments through education, development and motivation. The curriculum challenges student leaders to think critically and creatively about issues confronting the Legion.

A prerequisite to Legion College is The American Legion Extension Institute (ALEI) training program that is now available online at www.legion.org/alei. The online program replaces the series of printed booklets that focus on the Legion's Four Pillars of Service. Learn more about ALEI here.

After taking and passing the ALEI training I will be committed to getting the word out about the American Legion, its benefits to Vets, their families, and communities. There is so much history in this organization, it should be a required course in high school to learn of ALL of its effects on military families and their communities.
