The Foreign Relations Commission is dedicated to the full accounting of POWs and MIAs, the defense of human rights and freedom, the promotion of peace, and the care of veterans and their families who live abroad. The commission works diligently to advance resolutions that speak to key foreign-relations issues concerning national interests of the United States.
The commission conducts meetings and programs throughout the year to keep the Legion membership fully informed on current foreign-policy issues. It encourages bipartisan development of foreign policies consistent with the principles of democratic activism and with the Legion’s portfolio of active resolutions.
Operation Comfort Warriors (OCW) is one program of the commission dedicated to meeting the needs of wounded U.S. military personnel, providing them with comfort items not usually supplied by the government. Since December 2008, The American Legion family has raised more than $600,000 for OCW.
