Formation of Navy-Marine posts of
the American Legion throughout the
country is being encouraged, accord
ing to announcement made by Frank
Z. Samuel, director of organization
and membership at national head
quarters of the legion in Indianapolis.
At the last department adjutants'
conference the adtutants went on
record ''favoring the formation and
chartering of Navy-Marine posts in
each department"
The purpose of the Navy y-Marine
post, according to the organizer Of
the Navy Marine post in st. Paul, is
Ito preserve and stimulate that fine
old sea-going atmosphere of the Navy
and that wonderful esprit de corps
of the Marine Corps under the in
spring banner of the American
Legion"
Thirty maritime posts have already
been organized" said Director Samuel.
In New York City and Philadelphia
there are six such posts. In one of
the most active of these S5 per cent
of the members had never previously
belonged TO the legion or had become
inactive.
I'm the State training stations, navy
yards, Seaboard towns and in the
large cities where great numbers of
former NavyMarine Corps men have
concentrated for residence are thou
sands of potential members of Navy
Marine posts. In the event the policy
restricts legion membership to a
single post in city the situation
could be met by forming a Navy
Marine Corps section within the
established post
Several department adjutants have
indicated that they will organize ad-
ditional Navy-Narine posts within
their respective States this year.
