Commander's Message

Throughout its history, The American Legion has fought to improve racial equality not only for veterans, but for the communities they serve. And we will continue.

So many American Legion Family members shared through social media their candles of honor.

My sincere appreciation goes to all Legionnaires who have stepped up to serve in a myriad of ways through the crisis.

We can only provide that help through the American Legion Veterans and Children Foundation.

For posts without Auxiliary units, I urge you to create a unit to help support our mission. We are all one team in support of our nation’s veterans.

For the remainder of my term as your national commander, I will be focusing on my fundraising goal of $25 million for the Veterans & Children Foundation.

The success to becoming an effective leader is through mentorship.

Coin sales will end Dec. 31.

Our foundation and our future will always require great Americans.

After Dec. 31, the U.S. Mint will no longer sell these limited-edition collector’s items.
