Department adjutants need to email recommendations for national convention assistant sergeant-at-arms by July 1.
The American Legion will host its 104th national convention in Charlotte, N.C., Aug. 25-31. About 100 Legionnaires attending the National Convention act as assistant sergeant-at-arms during the General Sessions. The national commander desires that each department be represented among this group, if possible.
The convention budget makes no provision for payment of any expense in connection with this assignment. Therefore, selection should be made from among those to be present at the National Convention. Those selected must attend an instructional meeting conducted by the national sergeant-at-arms. This meeting will be held at 8 a.m. on the Monday (Aug. 28) prior to the beginning of National Convention General Sessions. Instructions will be mailed prior to this date and will contain room information.
If department adjuants have Legionnaires to recommend for this assignment, please submit their name and mailing address to American Legion Executive Director James Baca at National Headquarters in Indianapolis by fax, 317-630-1223, or email to TALforms@legion.org. Names are due by July 1.
A letter of appointment from National Commander Vincent J. "Jim" Troiola will then be sent to each nominee.
