Newest Consolidated Post Report shows continued growth of program to engage veterans, millions in local contributions, hours spent volunteering in communities.

VA&R Director Tiffany Ellett expresses support for pending legislation, shares the Legion’s Be the One and Buddy Checks programs during congressional testimony.
