Legion Men In Hospitals Tie to American Legion
Ex service men housed in hospitals across thirty two states are members of the American Legion, per Gerald J. Murphy director of the Legion's service division. The report uses national census figures of disabled veterans showing one third of disabled veterans enrolled in the Legion, with the service aimed at justice for the sick and wounded of World War I and broader benefits beyond membership. The Legion focuses on aiding the sick and wounded, on legislation, Americanism work and other projects benefiting all ex service men, regardless of membership, and aims to raise membership among those who left service without handicaps.
