As a way to reach out to members and former members who may need help,&nbsp;the&nbsp;National Executive Committee passed Resolution 18 during Spring Meetings in May 2019. The resolution calls for Buddy Checks to be conducted Legion-wide on the weeks of The American Legion\u2019s birthday, March 15, and Veterans Day. However, American Legion posts are encouraged to perform this vital function whenever it makes the most sense in their communities.  The idea is to reconnect with veterans who may need assistance but don&#8217;t know where to go or who to ask. These contacts may be made by a&nbsp;personal visit, phone or email, or a combination. The important part is to reach out to veterans in your community to let them know you care and can provide whatever assistance they may need. It&#8217;s what we do for our battle buddies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"386\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/alpost141md.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Legacy-Will-Kit.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1025\" style=\"width:459px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpost141md.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Legacy-Will-Kit.jpg 386w, https:\/\/alpost141md.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Legacy-Will-Kit-154x200.jpg 154w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 386px) 100vw, 386px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"409\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/alpost141md.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Amer-Leg-141-Web-Ad.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1030\" style=\"width:456px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpost141md.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Amer-Leg-141-Web-Ad.jpg 409w, https:\/\/alpost141md.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Amer-Leg-141-Web-Ad-164x200.jpg 164w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 409px) 100vw, 409px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"971\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/alpost141md.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/AIL-Plus-Summary-Brochure-AG-2750-R10-23-images-0-500px.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1032\" style=\"width:1047px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpost141md.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/AIL-Plus-Summary-Brochure-AG-2750-R10-23-images-0-500px.jpg 971w, https:\/\/alpost141md.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/AIL-Plus-Summary-Brochure-AG-2750-R10-23-images-0-500px-200x103.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 971px) 100vw, 971px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Veterans Affairs website is LOADED with information.
