SALUTE TO THE LEGION
The American Legion will
brate the 34th anniversary of its
birth Inrtn March lviarcn 15 to iv 17, , 1953. It should
be a date noted by every comlrluni "
ty fortunate enough to have an
active post of this largest of all vet
erans’ organizations. The Ameii
can Legion is a community asset.
The name of the American Legion
is known in every American house
hold. It is synonymous with patriot
ism. It is synonymous also with im
measurable contributions to the
bulwarking of our free institutions.
No one has ever been able to chal
lenge the genuine Americanism of
The American Legion.
Locally we know The American
Legion by the good works of our
hometown post. This is true every
where. The name of The American
Legion and its public goodwill rest
on grassroots appreciation of its civic
virtues and unselfish services to com
rounity, state and nation.
Relatively few people, however,
know about the astonishing sum to
tal of the doings, accomplishments
and contributions of the 17,250 posts
of The American Legion. It is news
worthy to take notice of this im
pressive sum total on this American
Legion birth anniversary.
Almost 20,000,000 have graduated
f; oni The American Legion’s vast
youth-training programs into good
citizenship over the years. Just
think of it—14,000,000 boys have
played American Legion Junior base
ball. 4,000,000 have participated in
its high school oratorical contests,
1,000,OLIO have belonged to the 4,090
Boy Scout troops sponsored by posts
and 275,000 have attended Boys’
States. The
In the field of child welfare.
American Legion and its affiliated
groups have expended since 1925
more than $93,000,000 in emergency of
financial aid to needy children
veterans. Most of this money has
gene for food, clothing and medical
treatments. GI
Through its sponsorship of the II
Bill of Rights for World War vet
t rans and of the Korean GI Bill, The
American Legion has ben responsi
ble for the greatest boons in all his
tory for home ownership and for ed
ucation. More than 2,250,000 World
War 11 veterans have now purchased
ther own homes under the loan pro
visions of the GI Bill. More than
10,000,000 veterans have taken ad
vantage of the educational provis
ions of this Act. This schooling pro
gram has netted the nation some
650,000 engineers, 350,000 teachers,
200,000 men and women with med
ical training, 10,000 lawyers, 35,000
clergymen, 1,000,000 business and
administration specialists, 100,000
scientists, 400,000 liberal arts grad
uates and 130,000 metal workers.
The Veterans Administration
stands today as a great living mon
ument to The American Legion’s 34
years of unselfish service to the
Nation’s veterans.
Siriee its birth, The American Le
gion has been the Number One cham
pion of national security and the
Number One foe of Communism in
the United States. And last, but by
no means least. The American Le
gion through its “Back to God”
movement has proven itself an
earnest advocate of spiritual strength
throughout our land.
We salute The American Legion
on its birthday. We believe its great
est days of service still lie ahead.
• May it grow in strength as it grows
in accomplishments for God and
Country!
