WHY JOIN THE AMERICAN LEGION?
Do you Remember?
Do you remember when your unit was under fire? You were scared; didn't know whether you would ever get home again to see your family or loved ones. The only thing you could count on in that instant was your buddy. You knew he was counting on you too.
Perhaps you were one of the lucky ones who never saw combat. Do you remember the tediousness of garrison life? Do you remember the interminable hurry up and wait? Do you remember the inane make-work projects you were ordered to do? But your buddy was always there along side you, making wise-cracks, helping you make it though each day, maybe even covering for you on occasion.
Your buddy still needs you!!!
Maybe your buddy is in one of the VA hospitals; their war wounds and/or time have taken its toll on their body. Maybe he or she is a young veteran, just discharged from service in the Gulf War, Bosnia, Afghanistan or Iraq, and is having difficulty finding a civilian job. Maybe your buddy is just an ordinary person as yourself, wanting to share stories and comradeship with someone who was in a similar situation.
Your buddy still needs you!!!
We are veterans just like you. We care about America, our fellow veterans, our families and our children. As a member of Appleton American Legion Post 38, we continue to serve God, Country and our Community. Our Post needs you now.
Our Legionnaires participate in many community activities such as parades, memorials, dedications, and advisory boards just to name a few.
We have a funeral honor guard detail ready, willing and able to provide service and support at a family's request. Our funeral detail is available to all veterans. When requested, we are also available to help other veteran organizations with their memorials.
We sponsor local students to participate in Boys State and Boys Nation; we sponsor our own scholarship program to eligible children and grandchildren of American Legion members in good standing to better educate our children.
Our Post needs you now. AMERICA NEEDS YOU - JOIN NOW
