FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The American Legion Announces a New Alliance with
Founding Fathers Brewing Company
INDIANAPOLIS (May 28, 2014) -- The National Executive Committee of The American Legion, the nation's largest wartime veterans service organization, recently approved an alliance with the Founding Fathers Brewing Co., a new U.S.-owned company that brews premium lagers.
Founding Fathers will support American military families with half of net profits from sales through American Legion posts. "We are delighted to announce that effective immediately, Founding Fathers will donate 50 percent of our net profits to The American Legion for beer sold through American Legion posts," said Phil Knutsen, founder and CEO of Founding Fathers. "This will support the tremendously important work of the organization as they assist our military heroes and their families."
"This new alliance will provide significant benefit to a variety of programs on national, state and local levels," said Daniel M. Dellinger, American Legion national commander. "We are proud that Founding Fathers has dedicated a significant portion of their profits to assist veterans and their families. This additional revenue will allow The American Legion to continue to provide necessary support to our nation's greatest asset - our veterans."
According to Knutsen, the Founding Fathers Brewing Co. will become a national brand by early 2015. The brewery produces a high-quality premium American lager that is targeted to the domestic premium beer-drinking market and is available in Light, Pale and Amber varieties.

Retirement Planner: Special Extra Earnings For Military Service
Source: Social Security Administration
Since 1957, if you had military service earnings for active duty (including active duty for training), you paid Social Security taxes on those earnings. Since 1988, inactive duty service in the Armed Forces reserves (such as weekend drills) has also been covered by Social Security.
Under certain circumstances, special extra earnings for your military service from 1957 through 2001 can be credited to your record for Social Security purposes. These extra earnings credits may help you qualify for Social Security or increase the amount of your Social Security benefit.
Special extra earnings credits are granted for periods of active duty or active duty for training. Special extra earnings credits are not granted for inactive duty training.
If your active military service occurred
From 1957 through 1967, we will add the extra credits to your record when you apply for Social Security benefits.
From 1968 through 2001, you do not need to do anything to receive these extra credits. The credits were automatically added to your record.
After 2001, there are no special extra earnings credits for military service.
Note: In January 2002, Public Law 107-117, the Defense Appropriations Act, stopped the special extra earnings that have been credited to military service personnel. Military service in calendar year 2002 and future years no longer qualifies for these special extra earnings credits
How You Get Credit For Special Extra Earnings
The information that follows applies only to active duty military service earnings from 1957 through 2001. Here's how the special extra earnings are credited on your record:
Service in 1957 Through 1977
You are credited with $300 in additional earnings for each calendar quarter in which you received active duty basic pay.
Service in 1978 through 2001
For every $300 in active duty basic pay, you are credited with an additional $100 in earnings up to a maximum of $1,200 a year. If you enlisted after September 7, 1980, and didn't complete at least 24 months of active duty or your full tour, you may not be able to receive the additional earnings.
Check with Social Security for details.
