Legion hosting meeting with Trump's transition team

The American Legion will host a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team and representatives from nearly 30 other veterans service organizations Thursday at 8 a.m. According to the transition team, the veteran-focused meeting is the first between Trump’s team and any outside organization.

Throughout his campaign President-elect Trump identified veterans’ issues as among his top priorities; the purpose of the meeting is for his staff to hear the questions and concerns of the veterans service organizations.

Directly following the meeting at the American Legion Headquarters, representatives from veterans organizations will offer their remarks during a press conference and be available for individual interviews.
