The American Legion
Feb 25, 2021
This year’s American Legion Washington Conference will be virtual, due to safety concerns regarding the ongoing pandemic. However, the conference, which is from March 1 to 4, has a packed agenda and technology allows Legionnaires to participate from wherever they may be.
“I am proud to say that we will not let the pandemic affect our ability to impress upon Congress the urgent needs of our nation’s veterans, servicemembers and their families,” American Legion National Commander Bill Oxford wrote in a newsletter earlier this week about the conference.
Oxford will present The American Legion’s priorities to lawmakers at 10 a.m. Eastern Thursday, March 4. Tune in to legion.org to watch live or a replay.
