Commander Roberts' Christmas Message


My Fellow Members of The American Legion Family,

I am so thankful to see that we are doing well this year and I am proud of the work that you all are doing for this great organization. The Christmas season is upon us and it is a time to celebrate with friends and family. It is also a time to be thankful for all of the blessings that we have received and celebrate the birth of our Lord.

Our most heartfelt and sincere thanks to our Nation’s servicemen & women and our Nation’s Veterans. It is because of their sacrifice and the sacrifices of their families that keep our Nation free and safe. Many of those who have been serving in Iraq are coming home hopefully in time for Christmas, but if not, they will be  very soon and I know that many holiday wishes are coming true. Many have made the ultimate sacrifice and will not be coming home ever again, so I ask that you pray a special prayer for them and keep their families in your thoughts and prayers this Holiday Season.

In the spirit of the season, my wife Anita and my daughters Jessica and Jasmine wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Jim Roberts
National Commander
Sons of The American Legion
