Behind the Scenes of the American Legion: Insights from Commander Paul Wade

  • Summary

  • This episode is one you don't want to miss - Paul Wade, a seasoned veteran and 10th generation Texan, joins us on the Hometown Hero Outdoors podcast. Paul, with over 22 years of military service and two Purple Hearts to his name, brings a wealth of wisdom and experience. As he shares how his deep family ties to the military have shaped his life, you'll feel a newfound appreciation for the dedication of our servicemen and women.

    We also spotlight the American Legion, the nation's largest veterans organization. Paul, as the commander of the American Legion Post 196 in Texas, gives us an inside look at the organization's work, from maintaining social spaces and computer labs for veterans to arranging dinners during meetings. And it doesn't stop there. Paul lets us in on the myriad of grants, programs, and scholarships that many veterans might not even know exist. With touching stories of those who have benefited from these resources, it's clear that help is available in many forms.

    Above all, we discuss a critical issue - suicide prevention among veterans. The American Legion's efforts to provide free seminars on this topic are crucial, and we delve into how we can all contribute to this cause. Paul emphasizes the vital role that family and community play in supporting our veterans, drawing from his own experience as a volunteer driver. We round off the discussion with details of the upcoming American Legion Post 196 Shotgun Shootout, a fundraiser dedicated to aiding veterans. Tune in to learn more about this noble cause and how you can support our hometown heroes.
