Your membership helps veterans, an IVETS success story

The Depmartent received the following message from 10th District Commander Ron Patterson about a recent IVETS success story. Commander Patterson writes:

"Through the help of a local post in District 10, a veteran and Legion member will stay in their home and not face eviction. 

The post helped the veteran complete an IVETS application which was quickly approved and rent was covered. Not only that, we were able to talk with the landlord and convince them to not move forward with any other actions until the members VA benefits were restored. 

This is just one example of how important our Legion cause is. Please pass this along to everyone you meet. We have strength and provide hope through membership! Please make those buddy check calls to ensure your brothers and sisters in arms are doing ok, and ask them if they can help the cause by keeping their membership current in the greatest Veterans organization in the world!!"

A note received from the servicemember:​
"My landlord got her money and she thanked me, as it helped her and I out of a tough place, I told her that I owed it to my Legion brothers and sisters.  She cried happy tears for the first time in a long time.  We both want you and your members to know you are in our prayers and in our hearts. 

Thank you so much for what you have done for me.  I cannot explain how much of a prayer you have answered for me."

Take care and remember YOU ALL CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!"


A veteran in need, helped by your membership.
