Boys Nation participants draft 122 measures, Legion testifies before Congress, Virginia post stages Be the One event.
Two of The American Legion’s capstone youth programs – Junior Shooting Sports and Boys Nation – hit their stride in July. Champions were crowned in Colorado Springs, and young men from across the country gathered in Washington where they prepared legislation, visited memorials, met with top officials and held elections.
American Legion Policy Analyst Joshua Hastings presented the organization’s positions on five bills in Congress that aim to improve VA health care and benefits processing, and two more American Legion Baseball alums were enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. And a Virginia American Legion post staged an outdoor event to promote Be the One.
