American Legion commissions and committees are meeting in Indianapolis today, considering resolutions and other business, during the annual Fall Meetings.
The American Legion is demanding immediate reform with the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) after NBC News reported that “arrival ceremonies” honoring the recovery of POW/MIA servicemembers’ remains were staged.
The American Legion has a strong dedication to supporting our nation’s youth. The organization was founded on the principle in 1919, when Children & Youth was declared one of the Legion’s four pillars. In the years since, a number of youth-oriented programs have been developed internally. Additionally, the Legion collaborates with outside organizations that focus on supporting young people.
March 19-22, in Washington.
National Headquarters conducts two DSO schools each year. The first is held in Washington during the week prior to the Washington Conference. DSO School is geared for the professional accredited American Legion representative (RO, county and state levels). Attendees must be endorsed by the department adjutant, who must submit a certification form to National Headquarters.
