They cannot destroy entirely the sense of humor that is characteristic of legionaires, and they will learn, among other things, that the Legion has kept faith with the disabled veteran and his dependents, that in its more than 10,000 posts it is giving unselfish aid to communities, states and nation, and that it is a mighty patriotic force that has served and will continue to serve this country well...
