GI Josh Needs Your Help!

Here in Wisconsin, the Sons of The American Legion has led the effort to give GI Josh Dogs to Wisconsin kids who have a parent deploying far from home. Through Spring of 2017 we have given away more than 800 GI Josh Dogs at a cost of more than $20,000. Unfortunately, there are still more deployments occurring, which means we need to continue to raise funds to support this impactful program. Please consider a donation by downloading our Donation Form and indicating the funds for GI Josh Dog. Learn more at www.wisal.org/josh-dogs/.

2018 S.A.L. Card Distribution and New Format

2018 Membership cards will be packaged with your Post’s membership cards and distributed at the Annual King Day Pilgrimage on June 18^th.

There is a new format for 2018. The card form is longer, and easier to make changes to member information. More info here.

2017 Detachment Convention

This year’s Detachment Convention is July 14-16 in Appleton. If you can’t make it the whole weekend, come for a day or a part of a day.

Elections and Awards are on Saturday June 15th. For information see www.wisal.org/convention.

Golf Outings - with or without golfing

Ride with the Riders – Rev’s Run and Walleye Weekend

Got a bike and want to ride and support The American Legion Family? You can participate in the Rev’s Run on June 9-11. This year it also combines with the Hearts to Heroes run at Walleye Weekend in Fond du Lac on June 10th.

Memorial Day – Lest We Forget

Please be sure to take a few minutes out of your life to honor someone who gave their life - for you. A quote seen on many memorial gravesites is:

“When you go home, tell them of us and say, For your tomorrow, we gave our today"
