New Law Allows Retirees and Vets to Salute Flag

The National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 contained an amendment to allow un-uniformed servicemembers, military retirees, and veterans to render a hand salute during the hoisting, lowering, or passing of the U.S. flag. A later amendment further authorized hand-salutes during the national anthem by veterans and out-of-uniform military personnel. This was included in the Defense Authorization Act of 2009, which President Bush signed on Oct. 14, 2008.

Temporary Financial Assistance

TFA is specifically designed to assist minor children of eligible veterans through cash grants. In order to maintain a stable home environment for children, grants are awarded for costs of shelter, utilities, food and medical expenses. Contact a Post Officer for details.

↔ EVERYONE!!! ↔

We need your help. Please assist the national headquarters in identifying local Iraqi Freedom or Enduring Freedom disabled veterans who may be eligible for monetary grants of $500 each recently made available from the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes. The sooner we can identify those in most need of these grants, the better. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can give you the contact information for your state to pass along to the veteran or his/her family. Remember, the veteran must be service-connected disabled at 30% or more and served in OEF/OIF.

The Coalition to Salute America's Heroes www.saluteheroes.org is no stranger to the Legion, or even to the Riders, having already donated material in support of the American Legion Legacy Run. They have supported veterans for years and they have our utmost confidence as a straight up organization.
