World Forestry Center.
“It was a fantastic
experience,” said m iddle
school science teacher, Erin

proud o f how these young
people handled themselves
and the efforts they made in
order to be able to go. They
re p re se n te d th e m se lv e s

well”.

American Legion celebrates 92 years
The American Legion credits a group o f 20 of
ficers who served in the American Expeditionary Force in
France during World War I. These officers were asked to
suggest ideas for improving troop morale. Lt. Col. Theo
dore Roosevelt proposed an organization o f veterans.
The first meeting was held in Paris, France in
March 1919. Known as the Paris Caucus, at this meet
ing they adopted a temporary constitution and the name
“American Legion.”
The first post was Gen. John Pershing # 1 in Wash
ington, D.C. The Legion became very active in the 1920
and was instrumental in creating the U.S. Veterans Bu
reau. They wrote the original G.I. Bill which was signed
into law in 1944. They sponsor many programs helping
the veterans, their children, and their communities.
There are approximately 14,900 posts in the U.S.
as well as in different countries around the world.
The Legion and Auxiliary will meet March 8 at
6:30 p.m. at the Heppner Senior Center to celebrate their
92nd birthday.
