Three testimonies in two days, hundreds of bills reviewed so far this session.
The American Legion’s voice has been heard loud and clear in the 119th Congress, with policy experts testifying on dozens of bills that affect veterans and their families in June and in the months since the session began. In two days – June 11-12 – Legion Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation and Veterans Employment & Education leaders appeared in person before three House Veterans’ Affairs Committee subcommittees.
Meanwhile, American Legion Emblem Sales is outpacing last year’s record number of U.S. flag sales, more than 20,000 people have now been trained to detect and prevent veteran suicide through the Be the One/Columbia University/QPR program, 29 competitors have qualified for the National American Legion Junior Shooting Sports Championships, and more than 66,000 veterans have been recruited to join the organization through the final month of the membership cycle.
