Commander's Message

The Department of California is challenging all American Legion departments to a contest throughout July – the 100 Miles for Hope Breakout Challenge.

I encourage American Legion posts to involve members in their community that also have a mission to help enrich the lives of veterans through physical and social activity.

Or order a copy by calling (888) 453-4466. The limited edition bookazines are $9.95 each plus shipping and handling.

The challenge runs from April 1 through Sept. 6.

As you may be aware, I have three challenges that are designed to grow and strengthen our organization.

In the coming months, I look forward to sharing with you all the new features that MyLegion.org will offer.

In the midst of this difficult year, there is an abundance of gratitude.

On July 30, 2019, the LEGION Act was signed into law, which extended the ongoing declared period of war back to Dec. 7, 1941.

The upcoming election is another area where our Buddy Checks can make a difference.

Are you with me for 100 Miles for Hope?
