Legion Activities Span War Crimes and Veterans Projects
American Legion groups nationwide undertake trials with armed vigilance after a Caledonia deputy’s death, while veterans push land settlement programs in Washington and seek broad retirements for World War II veterans. In Oregon, Mount Hood climbs with officials, and Theodore Roosevelt flies to address a Legion convention. Legion efforts support sanity reviews for veterans, estate tax issues, and memorial debates, alongside post formations in Constantinople and Coblenz. Local cases include a New York officer’s surf tragedy, Letendre’s marriage vow to a widow, and a Kansas City vets making artificial flowers from weeds for sales.
