Help the Legion fund their Heroes to Hometowns project.
No matter what your feelings about the War on Terror,
or the political feelings that you have, the "Heroes to
Hometowns" program has nothing
to do with the politics
of war or the politics of politics. What it does have
to do
with is making our severely injured military members as
comfortable as possible after a life altering injury. These
brave men and women deserve our
respect and support
and this is your opportunity to help out and make a
difference.
For more information about this wonderful
program
please visit
Heroes to
Hometowns on the
American Legion's Site.
The National American Legion is using these Military
Teddy Bears to use as a fund raiser to help defray some
of the huge costs associated with bringing a service
member home from a Military Severely Injured Center.
he care the Legion provides does not stop there, it will
be there for as long as the service member needs it.
Each of these
magnificent bears is made by a disabled
American Veteran and brought to life in Connecticut,
whether the request is for one, five or thirty bears each
one is made one at a time, there are no huge warehouses
of Army, Air Force, Marine, or Navy bears. All of the
military bears meet a very high standard that we have
imposed.
We have ensured that we would proudly
display or give a service member one of our teddy
creations. It is of the utmost importance that
the
uniforms our bears wear also proudly represent the
American Military and
meet the standards of the
American Legion.
When a Militarybear is ordered for $30.00 plus Shipping
of $6.95 the state from where the order is originated will
receive
25% of the order price ($7.50). This will be paid
on a
quarterly
basis to the State Legions. Jim LaCoursiere
will be in
charge
of the disbursement. At this time we are
able to keep up
with
the orders using only one disabled
veteran, we are very confident
that this program will grow
as more states become active
with
the program and that
is when we will be able to bring in
more
disabled veterans
to help with the Military Bear program.
