In the Spring of 2022, Wisconsin Veterans Village implemented a new program specifically for veterans requiring Physical Therapy. An alternative to invasive surgeries, this program is targeted at helping veterans achieve increased mobility and independence through the application of physical therapy and associated modalities.

Post 38 was fortunate enough to have Stacy Grosnick, visit us and give a short presentation on what services are finally available to veterans at the Wisconsin Veterans Village. Please see the below flyer for information on what Stacey and her team have to offer! 

They take most insurance programs including TriCare and work with the VA's Community Care program for non-VA care and treatment. 

This organization operates in all 72 counties and the 7 tribal lands and is available to all veterans. 

 

 

 

2022 Membership Renewal Campaign

It is that time of the year again, where membership renewal is at the forefront of YOUR American Legion’s tasking. Without your continued support, we are unable to meet the demands of so many veterans requiring our assistance.

Our dedication to fellow veterans did not end with military service. Your membership dues help support programs such as scholarships, veteran outreach, and rehabilitation; advocating with Veterans Affairs; supporting Camp American Legion; and promoting a 100% Americanism and instilling that in today’s youth by various programs such as Legion Baseball.

This year, we have been given the challenge by the National Commander, of attaining a 100% membership enrollment by Veterans Day, November 11, 2022. That gives us less than 30-days of attaining our goal. You can “Be the One” that makes the difference this year.

You can either renew your membership at Post 38 by either dropping off a check or money at the Post; mailing a check to the Post (indicate for membership renewal); or renew online by visiting https://www.legion.org/renew

Please help us in attaining our goal of 100% enrollment and thank you for being a member of the nation’s largest service organization!

POST 38 ANNUAL HOLIDAY CASH RAFFLE

 

 

Come and bring your friends and families to the American Legion Post 38 to watch as Army takes on Navy in the 123rd meeting of these teams on Saturday, December 10, 2022.

 

Seeped in deep traditions, this game always promises to be a healthy dose of competition between the two service academies. The Army-Navy Game comes with the tradition of two military academies that are older than the sport they’re playing, and whose military branches date back to the founding of the United States.

 

No wonder this is one of the most popular sporting events!

 

Club 38 will be offering a special menu (see below) that day and will be open at 11:00am to begin the festivities. Kick off begins at 2:00pm.

 

So, come on in and root for your favorite team! The more the merrier! Also, stay tuned for some “Fun Facts” leading up to the game.

 

Fun Fact: Almost all American sporting events feature the National Anthem, many games get a U.S. military flyover, and every sports rivalry is characterized by fans going above and beyond to demonstrate their team spirit.

The Army-Navy Game has all of those, except this game gets a flyover from TWO service branches and fans in attendance willing to break strict uniform regulations to show their spirit.
