#OperationOverlord happened 79 years ago. US troops landed on fortified beaches in France with the mission to liberate Europe from Nazi tyranny. This is a great thread from SecDef. @hobokenlegion @18Weehawken @hudson_nj @legion_145

As Legionnaires, it's our responsibility is to look out for each other & our fellow #veterans. Thru #BuddyChecks, we can reconnect with veterans who may need assistance but don't know where to go or who to ask.

This #MemorialDay, please take time to focus on what this day means. It’s not about BBQs and grad parties. It’s a day to remember the many men & women who have served our nation & lie buried, from #veterans cemeteries to rural burial plots. Today is set aside to honor them.

Natl Cdr Troiola: While #MemorialDay is a time of remembrance, we can also celebrate the lives of the more than one million men and women who loved this country enough to die for it. For that, we should always be grateful. https://t.co/Gtbhs8KZiZ

The red poppy came to symbolize the blood shed during battle following the publication of the wartime poem “In Flanders Fields" by Lt. Col. John McCrae while serving on the front lines.
Listen as American Legion Past Natl Cdr Jake Comer recites "In Flanders Field." #PoppyDay

VA #healthcare is consistently as good as or better than non-VA health care, according to the @JournalGIM & the Journal of @AmCollSurgeons, both of which published articles based on a systematic review of studies about @DeptVetAffairs health care. https://t.co/GxS2kQeYul

Talking about suicide with a Veteran can feel uncomfortable, but small actions can make a big difference. https://t.co/7SeRUCtZyh

While we applaud VA for its strategic growth of Vet Centers, there is room for more advancements. We call on Congress to support the funding, implementation & continued expansion of VA & community-based #mentalhealth services through Vet Centers. https://t.co/WIHcwd9n29
