From the beginning, The American Legion's Legiontown website (www.legiontown.org) was being planned for posts to tell the stories of all the good they do every day for service members, veterans, their families and the community since these stories have always been worth telling, but couldn't get the distribution they deserved. Finally, when the Legiontown website was launched, each Legionnaire could publish his or her own article. Today, Legiontown hosts more than 2,500 published stories. Here are our Post Legionnaire stories.
