A lot of you will remember sending the 715th MP Company off to the War but now they are finally returning this Thursday July 2nd. A escort has been organized to escort them back to the Melbourne Armory. These guys have been gone a very long time defending our country, way of life and that of those who want the same. Please read the following post by Bob Clasen:
We have again received a request to escort the 715 M.P. Company.
But this time it is to welcome them back home.
They will be returning to their armory in Melbourne on Thursday the 2nd of July. They are returning with no casualties or real serious injuries.
I know this is a work day for many, but we would really like a good turn out - a lot of us were there last year when we sent these troops off and it would mean so much if we could have a good turn out to welcome them back home. It is now going to be on the 2nd of July.
We will meet at Fishey's Pub-2668 Aurora Rd. at 0900 and travel to the meeting location. They are scheduled to arrive at 1000hrs, rounding up around noon Thursday, July 2nd at the armory and buses are due in between 1 and 2
I know this is a short notice but try to make it if you can.............
Lets turn out to honor these local American veterans who have served our country in the Armed Forces and lets show them we care!!!!!!!
COME ON FOLKS, LET'S GIVE THEM A GREAT BIG 12TH DISTRICT AND USA RIVERRATS WELCOME HOME!!!!

Fox News wants to interview a World War II veteran who participated in the Normandy invasion and will be returning there next month for the 65th anniversary of the invasion.
Are there any vets planning the trip that would be willing to do an on-camera interview? If so please contact Joe March from our National Headquarters at (317) 630-1253. |

The American Legion's Stance on the Homeland Security Report
|
|
|
|
|
Should your Department Commander or others be questioned by the media about the Homeland Security Report which warns that returning veterans could be recruited by rightwing extremists groups to commit acts of violence against the USA, the following message points are offered for your consideration. A copy of the national commander’s letter to the secretary was sent out on Monday, and a copy of it is included as well. (By the way, National Legislative Director Steve Robertson will be on CNN today at 10 am EDT, discussing this subject.) |
