Today we continue to have young men and woman fighting the War on Terrorism.  Some of these veterans will fall in to a life of homelessness.  There are still veterans from previous wars that are becoming homeless, while some continue to remain homeless.

Would you like to help a veteran have a second chance on life?

The Pennsylvania American Legion started a non-profit organization to help address the homeless veterans problem through transitional housing, helping to secure a better job and going back to school.  Our program is designed to enhance the quality of life for the veteran and their children.  It is designed to help them become productive tax paying citizens again by securing a good, decent job.  Over the past 20 years, we have had over 655 veterans go through our program with an 85% success rate.  Our homes are located in Moon Township, a suburb of Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Ephrata Pennsylvania.  We have a full-time director to help in achieving our vision of giving every homeless veteran a second chance at the American dream.

In order for the American Legion to finance this program, we are asking for your support.  We will be sponsoring a dinner on January 9, 2010 at the Holiday Inn Pittsburgh Airport, moon Township.  There will be a cash bar beginning at 5:30 pm with dinner following at 7:00 pm.  Dinner tickets are $25.00 per person and include a program book.  Ads can be placed in the program book at the following prices:
