Help support Legion centennial coin

Correction. A story about purchasing the Department of France’s American Legion centennial coin ran in the April issue of Dispatch with the incorrect mailing ZIP code. The correct ZIP code is 85743. Additionally, while the coins are $10 apiece, shipping is $3 for one coin and $2 for two coins or more.

Memorial Day. A prepared Memorial Day speech and Legion-branded advertisement slicks are available at  www.legion.org/publications for post members to use for their remembrance ceremonies.

Legion centennial coin. The American Legion is encouraging Congress to mark its 2019 centennial with a commemorative coin. A bipartisan group in Congress is now gathering support for The American Legion 100th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Act. Legion members are encouraged to contact their representatives and senators to support this important legislation. Enter your ZIP code at http://capwiz.com/legion/dbq/officials/ and the contact information for those who represent you can be obtained.

Flag Day. Pause for the Pledge will occur at 7 p.m. Eastern on Flag Day, June 14. American Legion members can remind their community about the importance of the U.S. flag and how to show proper flag etiquette. For flag resources and information visit www.legion.org/flag.
