September is su***de prevention month. As an American Legion family our mission is to “Be the One” to save one. If you have not taken the Columbia training on su***de prevention, please consider doing it this month. We must work together to decrease the stigma of asking for help and decrease veteran/active military su***de. Remember, mission is who we are. It is what we do.

Please share this info.

Hi, everyone! We recently received “Is it allowed?” questions regarding an Americanism-related project where embroidered stars are cut from the American flag and placed in a small bag along with a poem. The stars and poem are then sent to various veterans groups as well as those currently serving. The American Legion’s National Americanism Commission does not subscribe to the practice of cutting the United States flag into individual pieces prior to its proper disposal no matter what the reason or occasion may be. The Commission is of the opinion that when the flag is no longer a fitting emblem for display, it should be disposed in its entirety, preferably by burning. The flag began as a whole; therefore it is to be disposed of as a whole. Contrary to what is found on some websites, The American Legion does not endorse the use of the flag in this manner.
