Discord is great for playing games and chilling with friends, or even building a worldwide community. Customize your own space to talk, play, and hang out.

The American Legion’s mission is to enhance the well-being of America’s veterans, their families, our military, and our communities by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.

The legion is officially a non-partisan organization that focuses on helping veterans.

The legion is making a big push to modernize their organization. This means doing things that younger people enjoy. Come join, even if you’re not a veteran or service member, they would still love your support, even if it’s just gaming with them.

      Oh believe me I’m well aware. But 99% of those auxilairies are LADYS auxiliaries. I don’t qualify.

        It says on the page that all spouses can join. The only people that can’t join are non-veteran sons because there is a separate thing for son’s of the American Legion. In reality it doesn’t matter if you’re all just hanging out together anyway. It only really matters if you want to be part of the internal politics, but honestly, it’s probably worse than being in the military.

        Literally anyone can join the discord, no affiliation required.

              That should go to someone who has fewer means than I do. But thank you for the tip.

              Besides I’m an XBox fanboy!

                If I win it I’m probably going to use it for future local events. They’re currently forming committees on top of committees on top of committees to talk about the various video game related things they want to do. One of those things is hosting game nights or tournaments monthly at each post.

                They say the mission is to attract younger vets, but I think that older vets would also enjoy gaming, they just don’t realize it. Sure, they might not want to play an fps, but I’ll bet I can get them going on an old arcade machine or playing geoguesser. I’d also like to see if I can get ahold of a flight sim rig and get some retired pilots in there.
