American Legion supports Buddy Check bill
The American Legion National Commander James W. "Bill" Oxford commended Sens. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa; Doug Jones, D-Ala.; and Maggie Hassan, D-N.H. in a bipartisan effort to pass legislation aimed at combatting veteran suicide. The bill is modeled after The American Legion’s “Buddy Check National Week of Calling” to connect veterans to better ensure that they receive the care they need.
