Notes from the Department Commander
Greetings Kansas American Legion family!
I would like to take a moment to thank Reflection Ridge Post 424 Commander Bruce Reischmann
and District 5 Commander Paul Sanford for their hospitality while I visited the Reflection Ridge Post.
I truly enjoyed meeting the members of the post and assisting the District Commander with
presenting continuous year certificates. I would also like to thank Mike Cole of Leavenworth Post 23
twice; Mike is always willing to put in the work where needed and I can’t thank him enough for that.
In his role as Post 23 Adjutant, he took time off work to join me in participating in a round-table type
discussion with Representative Jake LaTurner, and as Department Media and Communications
Chair he wrote and requested the proclamation that Governor Kelly signed on February 25th
proclaiming March 15, 2022, as Kansas American Legion Day.
I’m not sure what I’ve been doing differently over the last couple months, but it seems like I keep
finding myself in the same or similar conversation over and over lately. I would be speaking with
someone that is not part of the American Legion family about membership and they would say
something like, “There was a Post in my town, but it closed, so there isn’t anything for me to join.” To
which I reply, “Do you mean the building closed or do you mean they turned in their charter?”
Normally they can’t answer the question so ask what town they live in and verify the Post still has a
charter and then proceed to explain that an American Legion Post is not a building. This really got
me to thinking, how many American Legion family members don’t fully understand what makes up
the American Legion?
I’m not going to claim that I can fully answer that question, but I want to at least put my two cents in,
and frankly I stole those two cents from the National American Legion magazine. I’m not sure when
they started it but up until June 2020 they featured a Legionnaire from somewhere in the country in
the magazine and called the article “I Am the American Legion” I would imagine that since interviews
for the article are done months in advance and across the nation, this particular portion of the
magazine became a causality of Covid. However, just because these articles are no longer featured
in the Legion Magazine doesn’t make the concept of them invalid. I feel that the purpose of these
articles was to stress that the American Legion is its members. Members that come from all over,
have a wide variety of experiences and abilities, yet have come together for a common goal.
I have not done the math to prove this, but it is my educated guess that the vast majority of
American Legion Posts across the state of Kansas either do not have a post home or they share the
building with other organizations. Every Post is different, and they have different needs based on the
different things they do. Some would not be able to do the things they do without their building, yet
others have no need for one. I would venture to say it would be impossible for a single American
Legion post to participate in every program that the American Legion organization is involved in, and
that’s okay. Because like I said before, the American Legion is not just a bunch of buildings across
the nation, it’s not programs or causes, it is its members. Without members that share a common
goal, the American Legion would not exist. I purposely did not say like minded members, because
that is not the case, we need the diversity, innovation stems from it, we don’t always have to agree
on how a job gets done if the end result is the same. I want to ask each of you a favor, currently
there is much division across our great nation, even at Legion meetings there will be people that
don’t see things the way you do, please don’t let those difference of opinions affect the mission. We
are all what makes the American Legion the best Veterans Service Organization in the nation,
differences in opinions included!
District Conventions start in just a few weeks, I have made plans to attend all 10 and look forward to
seeing everyone. If you are interested in being nominated for District office I would recommend
reaching out to current District leadership for guidance. I know many of the Districts are looking for
people to step-up and step-out of their comfort zones and join the District teams.
For God & Country

Notes from the Department Vice-Commander and Membership Chairman
Greetings Legionnaires,
Well, we have reached the home stretch in our quest to reach 100% in membership. Everyone has
been taking this responsibility seriously and working hard towards that end. A reminder that
beginning in the 2021-2022 year, each District put in place a game plan designed to hit the target. In
that game plan, a couple of steps were common among all the plans. First, assigning a District
officer to selected Posts, and second, contact to posts through appropriate channels and/or personal
visits encouraging participation among all Post members in recruitment. These actions should
continue even now as we approach the end of this year. It will take a team effort to accomplish the
goals we set and with everyone’s involvement, we can and will succeed.
Happy Birthday to The American Legion!! I hope your Post has some special occasion planned in
conjunction with The American Legion Birthday which occurs on March 15, 2022. Invite the
community! This would be an excellent way to recruit new members. We need to toot our own horn
about what we have done over the many years for our children, veterans, and community and what
we will continue to do into the future!
Your Post should be in full swing now recruiting high school juniors for Boys State and high school
juniors and seniors for the Cadet Law Enforcement Academy. These programs are only successful if
Posts recruit kids to attend. We need your help! Please visit your schools. To find out more
information, go to www.kansaslegion.org. These are also great ways to let the community know
what we are up too and potentially recruit new Legion family members!
Keep working those memberships, together we can do it! If you have new and exciting ideas that
might help a post with membership please let me know so we can share ideas throughout the state.
Remember we are a team, and together we can reach our goal.
As always if you have questions, comments, or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank
you for continuing to serve.
Semper Fi!

Mission Blue Grant Form Revised October 2021 1
MISSION BLUE POST ASSISTANCE PROGRAM GRANT APPLICATION
THE AMERICAN LEGION
INTERNAL AFFAIRS & MEMBERSHIP DIVISION
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
For assistance in completing this application, please contact your department.
You may find their contact information at www.legion.org/departments.
POST GRANT (ApplicationPage 3): The Mission Blue Post Assistance Program (PAP) grant is intended to assist posts
whose revenue has been negatively impacted from the effects of the COVID-19 health crisis within the community, as well
as any government-mandated restrictions. The funds distributed from this grant are to be exclusively used to meet financial
responsibilities associated with maintaining post facilities and community presence. Grants are only approved to cover costs
and fees associated with mortgage payments, rent, insurance premiums, and/or utilities. Recipient posts are prohibited from
using funds to maintain or cover a loss of income from any registered post business (including but not limited to post bars,
cantinas, restaurants, etc.), paying post employees, building upgrades or repairs, taxes, fines/fees/penalties, or funding post
activities and programs. Posts who meet all the required criteria may receive up to $2,000.00 from the Mission Blue PAP
fund. Department commanders/adjutants are encouraged to complete a Mission Blue grant application on behalf of the post.
Applications for this program will be accepted up to July 1, 2022.
QUALIFYING CRITERIA: American Legion posts who meet all qualifying criteria for the Mission Blue grant are
eligible to receive up to $2,000.00. Department commanders/adjutants must certify the applicant post meets the
following criteria:
Must have filed all other required forms and reports as prescribed by the department & national headquarters.
Must have actively participated in one or more American Legion program(s) within the last 18 months.
Must have a financial need.
Must have filed an IRS 990 form within the prescribed due date.
Must provide documentation indicating that the post is properly incorporated.
Must have a consolidated post report (CPR) on file.
Must provide a certificate of insurance for all liability coverage naming The American Legion doing
business as (dba) American Legion National Headquarters and the post’s department as an additional
insured. (Post must submit certificate of insurance declaration showing coverage.)
American Legion posts who do not have a CPR and/or a current certificate of insurance listing the American Legion National
Headquarters as an additional insured may still qualify for receiving up to $1,000.00 in grant funds.
REQUIRED APPLICATION INFORMATION (ApplicationPage 3): Department leadership must verify that applicant
posts meet all the qualifying criteria prior to submission of the grant application. Posts and departments do not need to
submit any bills or receipts along with grant applications. The application must be filled out completely and accurately to
prevent delays in processing. Grant requests may be completed in the fillable PDF format and sent to departments for
verification. Departments may submit endorsed applications to national via email (ia@legion.org). Any questions
regarding this grant should be directed to the Internal Affairs & Membership Division.
APPROVAL SIGNATURE OF GRANT APPLICATIONS: Upon review, if additional information is needed, the
department will be contacted. If the application is properly completed and all qualifying criteria and requirements are
met, the Internal Affairs & Membership Division will endorse the application and forward a request for funds to the
Finance Division. After review and approval by grant administrators, a check will be issued and forwarded to the
department headquarters to disburse to the applicant post along with a grant fulfillment letter which will also include
reporting instructions.
If any of the above steps have not been taken, the application will be returned to the department headquarters for further
amendments or clarification. Applications not approved will be returned to the department headquarters with reasons for
disapproval, who should then notify the applicant post.
Mission Blue Grant Form Revised October 2021 2
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS: Posts are required to submit a true and accurate report outlining how the grant funds
were used (mortgage, rent, insurance premiums, and/or utilities) within six months of the check issue date. A copy of the
report will be included within the grant fulfillment package sent to department. This report should be reviewed by department
headquarters prior to forwarding it to Mission Blue administrators at national headquarters.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. This form contains a post information section to be completed by the post and a department verification section to be
completed by department. Both sections must be completed in full. Departments will need to review the instructions
and information within this document with the applicant post prior to endorsing the grant application.
2. Departments will need to obtain the necessary records to verify all qualifying criteria have been met. These are
only needed for the department verification process and additional records do not need to be sent to national
headquarters along with the application. The only items necessary for submission to national are the endorsed
application and a copy of the certificate of insurance naming national headquarters as additional insured. If
additional information is needed for the review process, a grant administrator will contact the department.
3. Departments will need to verify that the applicant post has not received funds from the Small Business
Association (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). This is a joint program between the federal government
and private lending institutions that provide grants and/or loans to small businesses during times of crisis. Many
of the approved expenses for that program also coincide with the approved expenses for American Legion Blue
grants.
4. Mission Blue grants are strictly for assisting posts with facility related expenses (as outlined in Resolution 36,
October 2020). such as insurance, rents, mortgage, utilities, etc. Bills, receipts, and itemized expenses are not required
with this application nor when submitting the grant usage report.
REMINDER: Mission Blue PAP grants ARE NOT provided to cover costs or lost revenue associated with any

headquarters.

applications sent directly to national headquarters by any means will be returned to the appropriate department
headquarters without review or action.
