National commander: Thank you for your service to Minnesota
The American Legion is America’s voice for veterans. We are that voice not because of any statements that I make from national headquarters but because of the work performed daily in posts and communities throughout your department.
9th District Commander’s October 2024 Report
Though we had a good previous year, we were last overall in the department in membership. Now I realize we all have worked very hard getting our current members to get their dues in on time, we are still having some issues getting new members to join our posts.

As I sit here thinking about what to write about this month’s article, all that comes to mind how great most of the 1st District posts are doing with their new officers and, I can say: Keep up the excellent job you are doing in helping to get new members in and raising money for the great causes you do.
