Saving lives of veterans, their families and communities
with the Columbia protocol training
As part of The American Legion Be the One mission to end veteran suicide, we have joined forces with Columbia University to develop training for those who want to learn more about interacting and responding with veterans who may be in crisis.
After the training, participants will be able to:
• Use the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale to determine at-risk individuals.
• Identify risk factors and warning signs
• Outline the types of suicidal ideation and four behaviors that indicate imminent risk.
• Communicate effectively with an individual who may be at risk of hurting themselves.
Members of The American Legion Family are encouraged to take part in this training and share the training with their communities.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All attendees will be asked to complete an online survey before the class and upon completion. These surveys help track the effectiveness of the training and allow us to plan for future development.

Multi-Year Membership Now Available:
In addition to one year renewals, the American Legion announced a pilot program in December 2023 which gives members an option to renew their membership for three years. This means you lock in your renewal rate & avoid future possible increases during those three years. The new multi-year program means Towson AL Post 22 members can put off the dues increases until 2027 or even 2028 for some members.
Applicants must submit a copy of their DD214. Your application to join the Legion will not be processed without your DD214.

We have exciting news for our veterans. Now there is a website that can help our veterans find the best military friendly higher education instutions.
A college degree helps active military members and veterans prepare for and transition to civilian life. It’s vital that active-duty military members and veterans are able to find a school that can accommodate their needs and is compatible with their long-term career goals.
In an effort to support military members in their pursuit of quality college education, we created a guide to the best military-friendly colleges.
