Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the District of Columbia Delegation of the Proceedings at the First National Convention of the American Legion: November 10, 11, and 12, 1919, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Perhaps it is a little early to refer to the early days of the Legion, but we must not lose sight of the very first day, because there is today abundant proof that those who carried the idea over the top, realized and accepted the responsibility.
November 6, 1919, witnessed the starting of the District of Columbia delegates to the National Convention, and there was every evidence that they were awake to what was expected of them.
The three leading questions were, who is to be National Com mander? Where the National Headquarters, and where the next convention? None of these proved ours and for a time the delegates thought the ways of men most. Peculiar, but they soon woke up to the fact that now, as never before, there was a work to be performed by the members of the Legion in the District of Columbia.
