Veterans Day also is a time to conduct Buddy Checks. Resolution 18, passed by the NEC during Spring Meetings in May 2019, calls for the twice-annual Buddy Checks to be conducted Legion-wide on the weeks of The American Legion’s birthday and Veterans Day. A kit is available to help guide posts on Buddy Checks. The online resource contains information about Buddy Checks, tips, answers to FAQs and downloadable resources such as a flyer, scripts and more.
