Heroes to Hometowns
Welcome to Legiontown, USA
Legiontown is our town. It is your
town. It is America’s town. The ‘Legiontown’ designation occurs where
Legion family members dedicate themselves to a cause greater than
themselves. It occurs every time Legionnaires visit patients in a VA
hospital, or pay final respects during a veteran’s funeral. It occurs
when a Legion post converts itself into a make-shift shelter after a
weather emergency, or when a post sponsors an amateur baseball team
that teaches young people sportsmanship. Legiontown members live by the
words of Legionnaire and former president John F. Kennedy, “Ask not
what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your
country.”
Legiontown is The American Legion. In the words of
country music artist Michael Peterson: “It’s who we are.” Thousands of
Legiontowns are in the United States and overseas. They provide service
to troops, young people, communities and veterans. Found here are just
some of their stories. Help us make this Legiontown, USA, Web site
complete. Please create an account and submit a story and photo of your
post, squadron or unit explaining why it deserves to be called a
“Legiontown.” Because all articles are subject to review, it may take
up to 1 business day for them to appear. (Website)
