Dear Commander and Members,
As you know, new enrollment in the V.A. is now open. It all started July 1, 2009. The new rules make it possible for nearly all Veterans to enroll all you need is an honorable DD 214. Tell al of you Veteran friends about this.
On September 19th your staff of accredited Service Officers will be at the Post to enroll any Veteran. They DO NOT have to belong to the American Legion. We will begin enrollment at 9:30 am.. If you have any questions please give me a call at 422-6148.
For God and Country,
Ed McKeon
Attached is a form (40-0247) to obtain Presidential Memorial Certificates for our deceased Veterans and Legion Members. These Certificates are beautifully signed by the President and are suitable for framing. They make a Beautiful memory for our Deceased Veterans. The Certificates take about a Month to receive.
Just a reminder, all Veterans who are receiving compensation or pension is entitled to burial benefits no matter how small their check is the VA will reimburse the family from $300.00 to $600.00.
If you have any questions, give me a call.
For God and Country,
Ed McKeon
