American Legion Post 149 – Escondido, CA

Post Judge Advocate

As we move into the next Fiscal year starting July 1st, I need to complete the officer positions that are appointed by me with Executive Committee approval rather than elected. One of the most important positions to the Post is the Post Judge Advocate. This would be a one-year appointment, subject to reappointment, after elections are held. The JA must be a Post member. The duties of the Judge Advocate include:

Advising the Post Officers on the construction and interpretation of the Posts By-Laws and to perform such other duties as are usually incident to the office.
Interpreting matters related to the constitution or overseeing parliamentary procedures.
Be responsible for conducting investigations into post incidents, presiding over disciplinary trials for members, officiating post elections and conducting audits in collaboration with the finance committee
Attending the Executive Committee meeting, and the Post General Meeting monthly.

There is training and assistance available from the district Judge Advocate and our past Post JA's. Please answer this call

You can respond to myself, or the Post Adjutant Cyndie August.

Yours in Service,

George Christensen
Commander, American Legion
J.B. Clark Post 149

Since our charter in 1924, our American Legion Post has been welcoming all VETERANS from each branch of our Armed Forces. Today, we continue to welcome all military personnel serving our country. Joining our Post enables you to continue serving your God, Country, and Community.

The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow service members and veterans.

We as an organization are blessed with truly wonderful patriotic citizens from the Escondido community. For anyone interested in helping support our post as a booster or sponsor contact us. 100% of the monies raised are given back to the community. Help us continue to sponsor scholarships for the children within the community; as well as to give aid and assistance to our local needy veterans, and their families. Thank you for your continued support of these beneficial community programs and projects.
