Do you believe protesters should be allowed near funerals of our fallen heroes?

Do you feel the word “God” should be banned during burial ceremonies at national cemeteries?

The AmericAn Legion

2012 OKLAHOMA SURVEY

Dear John Sample,

During this election year, I continue to hear special interest groups quote statistics from “outside polls.” Do you ever find yourself asking, “Who are they talking about … that’s not how I feel?”

Time after time, I read polls that indicate how “MOST” Americans feel about every issue … from the national budget to more personal … values-related issues. Yet, you know their independent polls don’t come close to how you truly feel on these issues.

I need five minutes of your time. I want to give you an opportunity to SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT on how you feel about some very important issues that we are facing in America.

The American Legion wants to hear from you … we NEED to hear from you … in order to help bring some of these issues to the forefront. Many issues that are near and dear to our hearts often get swept under the rug while special interest groups focus on their same tired issues.

The survey enclosed is very important to The American Legion. By taking just a few minutes out of your day to answer these questions, you will be sending an important message that these issues matter!

As my special thanks to you for sharing your opinions with us, I have reserved a special GIFT in your name. By simply returning your survey to me, along with a gift of $20 or more, I will send you a beautiful 3´ × 5´ American Flag suitable for display on your front porch or flag pole.

This special gift is available for a limited time, so I must receive your survey and your gift of $20 or more by August 27th.

When you support The American Legion, our nation’s oldest and most respected organization of wartime veterans, you are helping veterans of all generations … from the WWII veterans of our “greatest generation”

■ Yes, I would like to support our nation’s heroes with a tax-deductible gift to The American Legion.

■$XX ■$XX ■$XX ■OTHER $

❑ I have enclosed my gift of $20 or more, please send my American Flag.

❑ I am sending a donation but do not wish to receive an American Flag.

to our brave young men and women who continue to put their lives on the line each day for our country in Afghanistan and around the world.

With so many of our veterans returning home at this time, it is critical that we stand ready to help them transition back to civilian life. Most will return home in need of a job, others will need assistance modifying their homes to accommodate a disability and still others will begin or continue their education. They need our help!

Many of our troops are returning home forever changed by the horrors of war. Thousands are in military hospitals around our country recovering from loss of limbs, traumatic brain injuries, or worse. They need our help!

Others suffer emotional and mental scars after spending months, and sometimes years, in war zones. They will require special services when they return home … services that many small communities around our country are not equipped to provide. They need our help!

Regardless of the era in which our veterans served, from WWII to the Iraq War, the common thread these American Heroes share is that they ask for little in return for such huge personal sacrifices.

We must stand strong for our veterans … just as they stood strong for us. Please take just a few minutes to fill out the enclosed survey, so we can ensure the issues that are important to all Americans are not overlooked or forgotten.

And remember, when you return your survey along with a gift of $20 or more, I will send you a FREE GIFT – a beautiful American Flag – to proudly hang in honor of our great country and those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.

Please don’t delay! Fill out the enclosed survey and send it back to me with your very best gift. With your support we will continue to be a voice of reason, of honor and determination.

God Bless America,

William A. PeaseNational Development DirectorThe American Legion
