National Security
The American Legion believes national security must be maintained to fulfill the mandate for a strong national defense. As one of the principles it was founded on, the Legion believes national security is upheld by keeping a well-funded Department of Defense, a good quality of life for troops, and a sensible transition between service and separation. Post 416 is here to assist the Lowe's Grove community with local emergency response or disaster preparedness, as well as providing advocacy to Legion department and national offices to advocate for a strong national defense.
