I can't speak for other Veteran's organization, but I can speak as a Legionnaire - We have had a campaign going on for months, sending letters and petitions to our elected officials. If you are a vet, and seek to have your voice heard, Join the American Legion! As the nations oldest and largest Veterans organization, we have a voice heard by congress, as well as the American public. Many benefits veterans enjoy were championed by the American Legion. There is strength in numbers - join me and millions of other vets. The American Legion gets stuff done!
The Patriot Guard Riders were formed by the American Legion Riders - opening it up to all, who wished to honor our fallen. Many posts have a riding detachment, and many have Spyder riders. Ours does! PM if you have any questions about the American Legion; I would be glad to help! Joe
