ARTICLES SUITED TO THE CITY YOU LIVE IN

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

The American Legion in Mexico, a non-profit organization actively engaged in social functions in the Community. Through their Official Website you can identify the closest to your location. Their Directory gives evidence that the Mexico chapter extends beyond our borders. To date, they have representation in five Central American nations: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Panama. They are putting together their New Associations in El Salvador, Honduras and Panama.

WHO FORMS PART OF THE AMERICAN LEGION       

The American Legion is a service organization formed by men and women who served in the Armed Forces of the USA during time of war. They are dedicated to serving their comrades in distress, the widows and orphans of fallen comrades, and their Communities. Only in the State of Jalisco they have more than 300 Accredited Members in the Chapala-Ajijic-Zapopan area. These provide support to 7 orphanages, their local Red Cross Hospital and help other altruist organizations. In Mexico City, Alan Seeger Post 2, at Celaya 25, Condesa, was founded on March 15, 1920.

THEIR HISTORY IN MEXICO

Escuadron 201 P-47D Thunderbolt with USAF and FAM (Fuerza Aerea Mexicana) insignias, by Wikipedia

CONTRIBUTIONS TO MEXICO 

The American Legion founded in 1947 the Boy & Girl Scouts which are of British origin. In the early 1950's Alan Seeger Post no. 2 purchased a plot of ground in the American Cemetry to take care of indigent veterans, for whom it provides funeral services, if requested. The Mexican Battle Flags, captured by the US Army in the Chapultepec Castle during the 1846-1848 Mexican- American War were returned to Mexico by the U. S. Government after two years of indefatigable labor by several members of Post 2. President Truman authorized the return of the flags, which were officially received by President Miguel Alemán. In 1949 during the polio epidemic the Legionnaires brought to D. F. the first iron lung and closed circuit TV set for the viewing of operations. This equipment was donated to the American British Cowdray Hospital (ABC). To date they run La Esperanza, sister Keller's home for abandoned girls and Casa Hogar de Niñas Invidentes Rosa de la Torre for blind girls. Presidente and Mrs Vicente Fox donated computers for these girls. With the Braille system they are able to receive education. In addition, Legionnaires support since March 21, 1957 Legión Americana School for more than 1,000 indigent kids, located in Santa Marta Petlacalco, Ajusco area. WIth their social events they raise funds to keep these social functions in place.

THE COMMUNITY   

These organizations are comprised by a large number of expatriates many of whom have chosen México as their new home. Not because of job-related obligations, rather because they have decided to do so. Each one of them has programs, concerns that have the same common goal: the Community's well-being. Starting in 2002 we have been publishing Security Corner, AT THE SAME TIME, provided Seminars on Crime Prevention, Personal Protection, with the relevant support of Mexico City's Police Department.
