WHY JOIN THE AMERICAN LEGION?
Do You Remember?
Do you remember when your unit was under fire? You were scared. You didn't know
whether you would ever get home again, see your family, your loved ones. And the
only thing that you could count on in that instant was your buddy. And 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 the wise-crack, 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; his war wounds and/or time have
taken its toll on his body. Maybe he or she is a young veteran, just discharged
from service in the Gulf War or Bosnia and is having difficulty finding a
civilian job. Maybe your buddy is just an ordinary guy or gal like yourself,
wanting to share stories and comradeship with someone who was in a similar
situation.
Your buddy still needs you!!!
