National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day! To the men and women who protect our communities, THANK YOU! TO MAINTAIN LAW AND ORDER...Without law and order, liber...ty would become license. Law and order protect our pursuit of happiness, one of our God-given rights. Members of The American Legion served in wars to uphold law and order among nations. It is just as important to maintain the due processes of law in our domestic affairs. It binds Legionnaires to obey the laws of the land and to support the constituted authorities in enforcing those laws. It means the citizen must never take the law into his own hands! See more

American Legion National Commander James W. Bill Oxford unequivocally condemned today’s attacks on the U.S. Capitol and called for law and order to be quickly... restored in Washington. The Capitol is the people’s house. An attack on the Capitol is an attack on all of us, Oxford said. Just as The American Legion has condemned prior attacks and riots in other cities, we condemn it here. Regardless of whether the violence is inflicted by right-leaning groups, left-leaning groups or unaffiliated civilians, it is never acceptable. This is not how we do things in America. We believe in civil discourse to resolve our differences. The entire American Legion Family proudly stands with the law enforcement officers and National Guard members who are risking their lives to restore safety. See more

November is a special month to celebrate gratitude. From Veterans Day to Thanksgiving, The American Legion Department of California honors and cherishes the dedication and heroism of veterans, and those currently serving this holiday season. Although the Department of California serves and supports California veterans year round, this month is an extra reminder how important your service means to us. We thank you for protecting our Nation and giving us safety for years to com...e. From our families to yours, have a happy, safe, and wonderful Thanksgiving!
