The American Legion
National Emergency
Fund
was established in 1989 to be used to meet the needs of Posts or
an individual member of the Legion family (Legion, Auxiliary or
SAL) in areas stricken by natural disasters. Since disasters are
not restricted to boundaries and can strike anytime or anywhere,
the National Emergency Fund is ongoing so the Legion will be
prepared to address future emergencies as they arise.

The American Legion encourages all
Americans to register and vote in all elections. It is the goal of The
American Legion and its Get Out the Vote program to encourage more Americans to
vote, to suggest activities on how American Legion Posts can increase the
turnout and serve as a resource to get the job done.

Honor Guard Reimbursement
Beginning in November of 2007, the
interest earned on the state of Iowa Veterans Trust Fund became
available to assist veterans. The Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs
and the Iowa Commission of Veterans Affairs are responsible for the
disbursement of funds. One program available through the Trust
Fund is for the reimbursement of veterans organizations for providing
military funeral honors. The reimbursement for basic honors is $25 and
$50 for full honors (with firing squad). The maximum amount payable in a
consecutive 12–month period from the trust fund to a veterans’
organization is $500.
