A letter to ABA Salute from the American Legion
Published on August 21, 2006 under American Basketball Association (ABA) News Release
Indianapolis, IN. In a letter to the ABA and ABA Salute, American Legion National Commander Thomas L. Bock wrote:
"This is to acknowledge American Basketball Association's generous contribution to The American Legacy Scholarship Fund. This scholarship represents another step the Legion is taking "...to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness." In his second inaugural address in March 1865, President Abraham Lincoln made an eloquent plea for America's Civic War soldiers: "...With charity for all...let us strive on to finish the work..to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan..."
Through your generosity and the generosity of the Legion family members across this Nation The American Legion will be able to help the children of service men and women who died while on active duty, on or after September 11, 2001 to fund their college education."
The American Legacy Scholarship Fund is one of several organizations to which the ABA and ABA Salute make monthly donations from funds raised through ABA Auctions and the sale of merchandise and other means to support our troops and their families. We are pleased and proud to support these organizations and the good work they do. For more information, visit www.abasalute.com or www.abalive.com or email jennifer@abasalute.com.
Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams.
