Excerpt from The American Legion Magazine, Vol. 27: December, 1939
They were supposed to be able to look into generals' and admirals' minds and work out strategy and tactics on a map. When they guessed wrong, oh, well, it was a relief to find these wise guys were only human.
I would remind them that we have a great host of American military experts who have been right for twenty years. You will find some of them disabled for life in veterans' hospitals. They gather at Legion Post meetings. Their total is the more than a million members of The American Legion.
All other veterans in good standing are invited to join, not only for the sake of the good company, but for the sake of their sons, unless they want their sons in a European war.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the true and inspiring story of a group of veterans who, in the aftermath of World War I, found themselves disillusioned with the world they had returned to. They banded together to form The American Legion, a non-profit organization dedicated to serving veterans, their families, and their communities. The Legion's mission was to provide support and advocacy for veterans, to promote Americanism, and to preserve the memory of those who had served.

From its early days fighting for veterans' benefits and fighting against fascism, to its more recent work supporting troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, The American Legion has been a constant force for good in the world.
