Let's celebrate!

Join me at national convention in New Orleans where we can count our blessings, celebrate our successes and build toward an even stronger future.

Dear Family, 

We have a lot to be thankful for and much to celebrate, specifically a year’s worth of successes, while looking ahead to a bright future for The American Legion.

As my year as national commander concludes, I am reflecting on our most important mission — Be the One. This past year, we’ve taken that concept, raised awareness across the nation and — most importantly — we’ve saved lives and we’ve changed lives.

That in itself is worth celebrating.

But there is so much more. Nearly $19 billion in veterans benefits compensation. Legislative achievements. Improvements in membership. Successful mentorship of youths. The list goes on. In fact, there is too much to list here.

Instead, Family, I want us all to gather, raise our glasses high and toast our achievements. I would love to see you at our national convention in New Orleans (check out the convention details here). Remember, you don’t need to be a delegate to attend.

If you haven’t registered, there is still time.  Please contact your department adjutant to learn how to attend.  

I look forward to seeing you there!

National Commander
