The Heroes to Hometowns program is a project that reaches out to severely disabled soldiers and their families as they transition from military service to the civilian community. Through the American Legion's representative at the Military Severely Injured Center located in the Pentagon, severely injured service members can request transition assistance from the American Legion after leaving service.
With nearly 15,000 posts around the country, the Secretary of Defense recognized the importance of partnering with the American Legion in order to utilize the nationwide community of veterans to help returning OEF/OIF veterans in their hometowns.
Past National Commander Michael Kogutek and The American Legion are asking for help in identifying severely injured service members. For more information contact Scott Sundsvold at 703-692-2054.
