is it not a sick sad world, the 4th amendment is routinely violated at every airport in this Republic & be advised that the excuse for doing so is based upon total fraud. Please contact me if you would like to engage on this subject.
You want members to stay? Give them a reason to. The Legion is currently a place for old people to sit around with their funny looking hat making themselves feel important while gloating or hearkening back to their halcyon days. You want to retain people? The simplest solution is to provide value for any dues memberships. What do most veterans want? A gym membership. Create a functioning “Anytime fitness” or “24 hour fitness” style gym at every legion post but smaller of course and I guarantee you most veterans that can’t find a reason to stay with the legion would re-consider immediately. You want solutions instead of platitudes? There’s your solution. No money? Figure it out. Take a loan to get the equipment or enlarge the real estate footprint. Do whatever it takes but that’s the only way forward that will work. If you create a gym/racketball/tennis/basketball areas in addition to a bar with at cost drinks, membership would skyrocket.
Hello, although I am an Auxiliary member, there are some American Legion posts that are doing new member engagement, including initiations for all new members who attend, community engagement and Legion programs. While there are a several that I personally know, I can refer to you to Hollywood Post 43 located in Hollywood. There are more. Learn what Hollywood does and how, then share with the posts who are lacking direction. This may be a start to get back on track the way the Legion used to be and should be. Just my opinion and my advice.
I’d love a conversation with George to ask questions and understand the life he’s lived and appreciate his sacrafice. I’ve never been fortunate enough to speak with a WW2 veteran and i’m affriad I’l never be luck enough to so. Any contact would be much appreciated. Thank you Sir.
This is wonderful to read, I thank you if you are helping the Veterans on Maui; I am so grateful to come to understand this. I need a post, I had been paying dues to the National Post. Giving gas card to my area last duty station was Oahu. I wanted to join a Post their. Living presently in the California High Desert. Do we have a Post here too?
I am a 100% Disabled Combat Service-Connected Vietnam Veteran. I am also retired from the Navy (2/1/1971-1/31/1979 Active, 2/1/1979-7/1/2010 Reserves) and retired from the Federal Government (Dept of Defense and Dept of State). All I knew about the VA was for home loans and burial services in 1979. Benefits to the veterans is very high on my list. What is the status of SB726 (Property Tax exemption) and AB46 (Exempt California Military Pension). I am currently 71 with many medical issues. Would like to enjoy these exemptions for my long service to this country while I am still alive. Besides my e-mail below, feel free to give me a call anytime at my cell number (hopefully you can find it or send me an e-mail for whom I can call). Thank you.
As our economy is in direr need of help! So does all veterans. Our income is stretching to the limit.
All Energy companies have increase they’re prices. Were does it END.
