know It is a place where you are going to be made welcome and In some cases you have a chance to renew old acquaintances Most towns have a legion and In the larger cities there are two three and even four legions hard at work In over 2000 communities working for young and old alike with their Air Cadet leagues and track and field activities plus essay contests to their Senior Citizen housing units
