Commander's Message

My theme for the year as your national commander is “Be the One” – the Legion’s veteran suicide prevention initiative.

As we embark on 2023 membership year, I urge you to keep the membership matters momentum going for us to see growth.

Let your voice be heard on Capitol Hill by signing up for the Legion’s Legislative Action Alerts here.

It’s not too late to sign up for the 100 Miles for Hope challenge that runs through Labor Day, Sept. 5. Whether you participate in the challenge or make a donation, your support matters.

Let's show local communities our dedication to young people by hosting youth activities or by becoming involved in programs that support young people.

As I testified before Congress on March 8, I emphasized that improved health care for women veterans is a legislative priority for The American Legion.

Engagement is the key to renewals and membership renewal is a priority of mine for 2022. I have challenged all departments to reach a 90% renewal goal.

Help World War II veterans receive the care they deserve at the VA by contacting your representative now.

The holiday season is a perfect time to perform Buddy Checks for your fellow veterans. See how they are doing, what they may need, and give them a voice to talk to.

Reach out to your congressional representatives to voice our support for the Buddy Check Act.
