It may seem like a long way away, but your 91st Annual Department Convention in Springfield, will be here before you know it. July 8 - 12, 2009. We need your help in spreading the word to our entire American Legion Family about coming to this year's convention. Not only will we chart the course of our American Legion for the coming year, but we will also have a great time. Bring your families and walk where Lincoln walked. Tour the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum at special reduced rates for our American Legion Family. Also, the Illinois State Military Museum will be on the shuttle route and is FREE entry. The FREEDOM FEST on Friday, July 10th, is a Street Festival with music, dancing, refreshments and fun and again it is FREE ENTRY. The Commander's and President's Dinner on Saturday, July 11, 2009, will also be an event to remember. So, please make ample copies of the flyers and start spreading the word to our Posts, Units, Squadrons, Districts and Divisions. GET THE WORD OUT as Springfield will be FINE in '09! Thank you.

American Legion unveils new Emblem Sales Web siteINDIANAPOLIS (May 1, 2009) – The American Legion has recently redesigned its Web site for ordering merchandise. The new Emblem Sales Web site features better graphics and state of the art technology to increase its ease of use. The new site, www.emblem.legion.org, coincides with the recent implementation of new customer service and warehouse software at Emblem Sales. It features “roll-over” navigation, where additional choices appear simply by pointing a mouse at a category. This will allow the user to quickly find the desired category of merchandise. A new uniform cap page will allow Legionnaires to easily build and order new American Legion caps through a step-by-step process. The site also features a shipping calculator, which estimates the charges before an order is placed. With a current membership of 2.6-million wartime veterans, The American Legion was founded in 1919 on the four pillars of a strong national security, veterans affairs, Americanism, and patriotic youth programs. Legionnaires work for the betterment of their communities through more than 14,000 posts across the nation.
