A Message from Department President Theresa Brandt
August 1, 2021
Soon the National Convention will be in our rearview mirror. As the attack on Pearl Harbor has always been remembered, the attack on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and flight 93 that went down in a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania will be foremost in our minds on September 11, 2001. It will be day in history that is never forgotten, just as Pearl Harbor is never forgotten. Those events changed the course of our country- leading us into war. It has been 20 years and the war is coming to end, but the work of The American Legion and The American Legion Auxiliary and SAL is just as needed now as it was during World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and all other conflicts we have encountered as a great nation. We have a whole new generation of veterans that need our help and understanding. The World Trade Center had its share of trouble. It was finished being built on April 4, 1973. It was the tallest building in world, when it was built. On Feb 13, 1975 a fire broke out causing damage to upper floors of the building, on Feb 26, 1993 a truck full of explosives bombed the building, on January 14, 1998 a major bank robbery occurred netting 2 million in stolen money and on Sept 11, 2001 the building was destroyed by Al Qaeda. As a result of those attacks, Patriotism was at an all time high as America was once again caught off guard by the attacks. Today our nation is a troubled nation and it is more important than ever that we keep instilling that patriotism. In September we will start the Fall Conferences, I am looking forward to see old friends and meeting new friends as we make District visitations. In September membership will get in full swing, make sure to get your membership in and not hold on to them. Keep your hearts on the task at hand and let’s have a great year. |
