The shutdown is directly impacting the lives of our active-duty personnel, their families, veterans and federal civil servants who faithfully serve our nation every day.
“To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan” is not just a promise to those who fought the Civil War. It is a pillar of The American Legion.
Without strong numbers, our influence to fight for veterans’ rights on Capitol Hill is jeopardized. Our youth programs will mentor fewer children who need our guidance. Our charitable donations will help fewer veterans, servicemembers and their families who need us.
