Commander's Message

Post Commander Andy Dupuis, USAF (Ret.)    You're Always Welcome        Yes, you're always welcome.  As a military veteran or member of a veteran's family, the doors to The American Legion Charles J.

April 2018 Message (Rev. David Gillis, Post Chaplain) Understanding Our Dual-Citizenship The events surrounding the holiday we know as Easter and with it the season of Spring always brings with it a refreshing invitation to new beginnings.  As Legionnaires we are also approaching a new membership year, a new beginning, and closer to our 100 th anniversary as the nation’s oldest and largest veterans’ organizations, yet another new beginning.   We have so much to look forward to and so very much to be thankful for.   Possibly as we’re exploring new beginnings it is an ideal time for us as Legionnaires to renew our vision as to who we are and why we maintain membership in this organization.  That shouldn’t be too difficult since we begin our membership meetings with a commitment to God and country that we associate ourselves together for ten specific purposes.  Here we are identifying ourselves as dual citizens – one is of God’s kingdom and the other ...
