INDIANAPOLIS - In an effort to tell the positive stories of daily accomplishments by our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan directly from the perspective of the American soldier, The American Legion launched its "Letters to America from the Front" initiative.
In support of the Legion's Resolution 169 (Support for the War on Terrorism), Bock invites all family members, spouses and friends of our soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan to share letters from their loved ones fighting the war on terror.
As a new addition to The American Legion Web site, "Letters to America from the Front" submissions from troops will tell of all the good things happening in Iraq and Afghanistan that are not reported in the media.
Letters can be viewed at http://www.legion.org/.
Click on "Letters to America from the Front" in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Submit letters for posting to pr@legion.org.
To kick off this new initiative that will reconnect America with brave troops serving our country, Commander Bock posted a letter from his son, Adam, serving in Iraq.
