EDITOR:

In your Letters to the Editor section this week, the question of help provided by The Royal Canadian Legion arose. Concerned about misinformation, we’d like to provide a reality check.

Any Allied Benevolent Fund applications arising in North America pertaining to Allied service are actually always first handled by The Royal Canadian Legion. We provide this support even if benefits come from another country.

Also, no veteran who legitimately needs help and support from the Legion is turned away. We take our mandate extremely seriously - veterans and their families are our priority.

Nujma Bond,

Manager, Communications,

The Royal Canadian Legion,

Dominion Command
