My Fellow Legionnaires, in setting my goals for the coming year, it is my wish to follow the Cardinal Principles of the American Legion which are, “the rehabilitation of all disable veterans; the care of the dependents of those who have answered the final call; the care of those who now are suffering from wounds, disease and want; the education of our children; and, service to the community, state and nation”.

In other words, it is my goal to be “in service” of our veterans in need.

For God and Country

Commander Clarence Buchanan
