Bill > LR69

This resolution recognizes the 106th anniversary of the American Legion, a major nonprofit veterans organization founded on March 15, 1919 in Paris, France. The resolution highlights the American Legion's significant role in supporting U.S. military veterans, their families, and communities, with a particular focus on Nebraska's local chapters. The organization operates around four key pillars: children and youth, Americanism, national security, and veterans affairs and rehabilitation. In Nebraska specifically, the American Legion has over 22,000 members across 347 posts. The resolution formally congratulates the American Legion on its 106 years of service, expresses appreciation for the contributions of Nebraska Legionnaires to the state and nation, and mandates that an official copy of the resolution be sent to the American Legion Department of Nebraska, thereby officially acknowledging the organization's longstanding commitment to veterans and community service.
