As a long time member of the American Legion, you reminded me that I needed to get off my _ _ _ and renew my membership. I did that today. First time since moving to Florida as well. Glad to be here and very glad to be an American! I don't understand some of the responses you got here. Perhaps they don't know that our veteran's are helped in many many ways by the Legion. The Legion fights for the rights of our veteran's in every state of the Union as well as Washington. They have "socials" to assist our veteran's with expenses, homelessness as well as many other needs. They care about the rights and freedoms that we all share because of those that stood and fought for our freedom. They are there for Veteran's holidays as well as every day of the year. They are the one's that NEVER stop believing in what the founding fathers gave to us. They NEVER FORGET. They also never forget the huge sacrafices for those that never returned from battle and those that have. And they are also there to bury a veteran with the honor and dignity that he or she deserves. Yes, I renewed my membership today and glad to do it! Thank you Stinger 2.

Because of the above even if I wanted to join the legion I wouldn't be eligible for membership. John

American Legion Post 347 "The Largest Post in the World" However, in the first paragraph on their homepage they write "VFW Post 347 is proud to assist The Villages/Lady Lake in their Relay for Life on April 14, at the Polo Grounds..." So am I to assume both the American Legion and VFW are both in that building and both are posts 347? |

I considered going their one time and decided to check it out. When I opened the door the stench of tobacco nearly knocked me over.
I asked the person who happened to be there about the tobacco smell ...His reply: Shrugged his shoulders and said hey if we didn't allow smoking the place would be practically empty. With that I replied that's to bad ...decision made we didn't go and never went back. Shame |
