Lets Build the Bridge"
AN APPEAL TO THE BUDDIES.

The preamble of the American
Legion's constitution states that it is
dedicated to God and country. The
Legion, during its career of only
three years has demonstrated that it
is the best insurance policy the Ma
tiOn has.
Our post appeals to all eligible ex-
service men in. this community to
join the Legion and to aid our fight
for Ame1icanism.z The blue and gold
button of the American Legion
marks its wearer as one who has
not thrown away his patriotism with
the uniform. 1t means that he has
not passed the buck" to someone
else to see that the sick and disabled
buddies get justice and to fulfill all
those things that he desired to re-
suit from the war.
Every man in the service hoped
for better things after the war.
More than two million donghbOys,
gobs and gyrenes realized that it was
going to be a fight to- bring to pass
the things that they dreamed Of.
The result of this prevailing scnti-
ment was the formation of the
American Legion.
Legion members are from every
branch in the service, from those
who were forced to remain at home
to men who won the congressional
medal at Chateau-Thierry and i'll the
Argonne. 1t includes all ranks from
private to general.
Our Legion post can be the most
beneficial organization in this COM
munity. Its purposes are high; its
ideals are untarnished. 1t deserves
your support and the membership Of
every war veteran. Join Robert H..
Burns Post of the American Legion
and make it the best post in the
State.

Legion, Covington, La.
