The Post Needs Your Help
   Legion Baseball has been a tradition since it was founded in 1925. The Legion program has made it possible for thousands of young boys to play organized baseball during the summer. Many of our high school, college and professional players have come through the Legion Baseball programs. There are forty-three Baseball Hall of Famers who have played in various Legion Leagues nationwide.
   Members of Leyden-Chiles-Wickersham Post 1 believe it is important that we continue to support this activity. However, it is difficult to continue funding without a fund-raising effort.  We are therefore, asking our friends to assist us in contributing to our Baseball program.

Veterans Benefits Handbook
  A new edition of the Department of Veterans Affairs' popular handbook "Federal Benefits for Veterans and Dependents" updates the rates for certain federal payments and outlines a variety of programs and benefits for American veterans. The handbook can be downloaded free from VA's Web site at Federal Benefits for Veterans.
   In addition to health-care and burial benefits, veterans may be eligible for programs providing home loan guarantees, educational assistance, training and vocational rehabilitation, income assistance pensions, life insurance and compensation for service-connected illnesses or disabilities.
