Time flies when you're having fun!
Before we know it, January will be here and with it, the requirement to report our participation and successes in the American Legion Oratory program.
I need from each Squadron, the number of participants you have in the program.
As time passes and our orators progress to higher levels, please advise who you have that has advanced. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Thom Skelley
SAL National Commander Leading Candidate

To the Detachment, Americanism Chairman Kevin Baker has the flags in hand and is ready to dispense them to the Squadrons that want/need them. Remember, we are trying to limit each batch to 200 flags per Squadron. Please send Chairman Baaker an email with your request or give him a call. He will send the flags to the address you state. I hope that all Squadrons reach out to Chairman Baker and make this program a huge success.
