"There is not the least doubt in my
mind that if it had not been for the
determined stand of the American Le-
gion, thinner and | would still be in
prison." writes Sergeant Naef. who
with Sergeant Zimmer was arrested

to capture Grover Cleveland Bergdoll,
notorious Stacker. "The American
Legion came to my aid during one of
my darkest hours, and it demonstrat-
ed by it's unwavering loyalty toward

appreciate fully the great honor con-
ferred upon them.
