Excerpt from The American Legion, Vol. 21: November, 1936 The Legion's own day of opportunity lies ahead of it. As the greatest unselfish patriotic organization in America and in the world, it has yet to write the most notable and most noble of its achievements. We have not yet got to the middle of the book. What is that opportunity? It is of record, concise and clear, in the Preamble to the Constitution of The American Legion. Read and reread those compact phrases. They are the chart and compass that guide us toward the goal of a greater, finer America. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
