The American Legion's agenda for Congress

The American Legion has published its legislative priorities for the 116th Congress, focusing on topics such as fully funding a national defense, improving health care for women veterans and protecting the American flag.

Additionally, The American Legion is encouraging Congress to redefine the wartime service period, extending it to Dec. 7, 1941, to honor all veterans who have served since Pearl Harbor was attacked. The language stems from Resolution 1, which was passed by the National Executive Committee during Fall Meetings in 2018.
