We welcome you all, veterans and friends, to this website for American Legion Yorktown Post #1009. This website was created to help us reach out to prospective new members, to keep in contact with our members who have moved to other parts of the country, and to keep our members informed of Post happenings. Like many things, it has evolved from that simple mission. Today, local Scouts and community organizations check our 'Calendar of Events' months in advance to see when the Yorktown Memorial Day Parade or Veterans Day Parade is scheduled to help plan their own group's participation in them. From our 'Helpful Links' page all veterans can learn about the benefits that the American Legion, the world's largest service organization, has negotiated for its members in health insurance, pharmaceutical discounts, travel discounts, credit cards, and other benefits. On this same page are links to other organizations who have information which might benefit veterans. There are links to help veterans research problems unique to veterans in areas of mortgages, health-care, and family care. These are not all-inclusive, but we have tried to provide information that is middle-of-the-road and not slanted towards a company that is only interested in getting money from veterans. Our Post Legionnaires, and any veteran, can use this site to keep up to date on Post news and activities by checking our 'Post e-Newsletter' page which has all past issues of our informative newsletter. We hope that you enjoy this website and that you find the information it provides useful to you. Feel free to contact us with any comments or suggestions to improve our site. Veterans and Legionnaires please contact us to renew lapsed memberships, or to join the American Legion for the first time. It only takes a few moments to join, and the price of your membership can be saved on your first discounted auto rental or hotel stay. It is your membership that strengthens the American Legion. Every day in Afghanistan and other hot-spots around the world US military forces suffer terribly disabling injuries. A strong Legion is needed to push the US Senate and Congress for increased medical care and pension benefits for these disabled servicemen and women,... and the disabled veterans they will become. Join us for this fight. |
