It does something we certainly should do, to enable those American veterans who served in the Armed Forces after February 28, 1961, when the first American troops accompanied South Vietnamese troops on patrol, but prior to December 22, 1961, which is the current date in the current legislation in the incorporating charter of the American Legion, to enable them to join the American Legion. This does track the change Congress made for veterans' benefits. I hope that this bill is unanimously approved.
