Added a new link under Resources/Veterans Affairs Info.

Togetherweserved.com (TWS)’s new Buddy Finder was created specifically to help Veterans find those they served with. Now with more than 2.3 million members in five separate service branch websites, TWS has possibly reconnected more Veterans than any other website or organization. The secret behind this high rate of success is the depth of TWS’s hand-built databases that contain hundreds of U.S. military units, ships, squadrons and bases going back to WWII.

To find a person he or she served with, using the Buddy Finder, all a Veteran needs to do is select their service branch and then a keyword and/or number contained in the unit name. A list of all unit possibilities containing that keyword or number is then presented and a selection can be made. Then by entering the timeframe served in that unit, Togetherweserved.com’s search engine quickly looks up all other TWS members who served in that unit at the same time and delivers the total number of possibilities.

Once registered, (FREE) a Veteran will be presented with the complete list of names with direct links to their service profiles ready to make contact. By entering other units and timeframes on their service profile, people who also served in those units will be presented as well.

Thought some of you may be interested. I’ve spent an hour or so trying to remember when and where.

Have Fun!

American Legion members are invited to a detailed briefing on Medicare Advantage Plans for the Training Tuesday on March 26 at 7 p.m. The session will discuss the advantages of enrolling in these plans alongside existing VA healthcare benefits, covering key aspects such as eligibility, The American Legion partnership with WellCare, and an overview of Medicare Parts A, B, C and D. Special emphasis will be on coordinating healthcare benefits for veterans, maximizing advantages and understanding enrollment periods. 

The MyLegion portal is open for members to renew for a 3 year period if desired. If it is done before July 1st, it will be at the current rate of $45.00. After July 1st 2024, when the Legion 2025 begins, the National Legion membership will increase.

Currently it can only be done online by the member. Adjutants can not process a 3 year renewal.

Posts will get their share once a year like PUFLs are currently done. If a member dies during that 3 year period, national will keep the entire amount and neither the dept nor the post will receive their share.
