BE THE ONE "DAY"

Fri, May 1, 2026 All Day

On the first day of every month, Legion Family members are encouraged to wear a "Be the One" item to show their commitment to reducing the stigma around mental health issues among veterans & servicemembers AND to start a conversation about what "Be the One" is & how to save the life of a veteran.  Legion posts should also promote "Be the One" on the first day of every month.
