Dear Fellow American,

If you were to cash the enclosed $2.00 check, you may be able to buy a cup of coffee … or perhaps a newspaper. It’s a real check! It’s pocket change to you and me, but it means a whole lot more to some very special Americans. Our veterans have given so much in service to our country and ask nothing in return … so I am asking for them!

I am counting on you to send this check back to me because ANY gift … of ANY size can help make a difference in the life of an American Hero this holiday season!

Visit any military hospital and you will see countless examples of what words like heroism, honor, determination, and patriotism truly mean.

Many of our heroes are fighting painful battles—far from the front lines of war—in military hospitals around the country. They face months ... sometimes years ... of grueling surgeries and therapies before they are even able to go back home to their families.

With your help, The American Legion will continue to help our veterans and their families on their long journeys to recovery.

But we can only provide our support programs through the generosity of friends like you.

Programs like Operation Comfort Warriors, where we help provide thousands of items to our wounded troops—items like loose-fitting sweatshirts and pants which provide amputees and burn victims warmth and flexibility without adding pressure to burns and other wounds. We even purchase special equipment needed by hospitals to help treat those who suffer from ailments like PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injuries).

Our brave young heroes, wounded or not, will need our support when they return home. Imagine spending months—sometimes years—away from home in a hostile environment. Most have seen the horrors of war firsthand and many carry emotional and mental scars. Others will come home with physical disabilities or will require help finding special services or even employment.

With your help, we can connect injured soldiers with the services in their hometowns that best fit their special needs. Whether these needs involve finding jobs, adapting homes and vehicles, child care, medical transport, spiritual or financial support, The American Legion, in partnership with you, will be there to lend a hand.

Whether they are young or old, married or single, fathers, mothers, daughters or sons … they all have (over, please)

They have been forever changed by war … changed in an instant while serving our great nation … and they will never again be the same person who left their hometown for basic training months or even years ago.

The American Legion helps veterans—both young and old—through our many veterans support programs.

By following just three easy steps, we can insure that our veterans are taken care of – it is the least we can do for those who bravely stepped up and answered their country’s call.

Step # : Write a note of thanks on the enclosed card. It seems to me that Thanksgiving is the very best time 1of year to express heartfelt gratitude to our American heroes for the sacrifices they have made on our behalf. I will see that your card is hand-delivered to a hospitalized veteran. Think of what your card will mean to a veteran when you let them know the sacrifices they made for their country are not forgotten. It costs nothing but will make a huge difference to a hospitalized veteran who receives it.

Step # : Detach one of the special Thanksgiving vouchers attached to the reply form. Whether we are helping2 wounded warriors … helping our troops as they return home … or helping veterans with their VA claims, your gift will provide meaningful support to veterans when they need it most.

Step # : Mail these items, along with the enclosed check and your special Thanksgiving gift of $15, $20 or more3 in the enclosed reply envelope.

Our veterans … our troops … their families … have sacrificed SO MUCH for our great country—for YOU AND ME—and have asked for nothing in return. They need OUR help. Please send a generous gift today!

Yours for our wounded heroes,

William A. Pease National Development Director The American Legion
