MARCH marketing president Tom Aiello speaks at the 2013 American Legion National Convention MARCH Marketing was proud to help Rebuilding Together kick off American Legion Convention in Houston today! We renovated a Veterans Shelter that’s home to 100 veterans ages 27-85. Today’s project is making a big difference in the lives of many deserving veterans!

The three entities came together Aug. 23 in Houston to kick off the Legion’s national convention and to renovate the 13-year-old facility that has housed more than 900 veterans since its opening. Volunteers spent the morning painting and laying down carpet for the residents, who range from ages 24-85. Legionnaires, Legion Riders and Auxiliary members all took part in the work. “This is a wonderful opportunity for us to get involved,” said American Legion Past National Commander Fang Wong, who helped paint alongside his wife, Barbara. We want people to know what The American Legion is doing. What better way to do that then leading by example? We talk about branding. What better way to brand ourselves than something like this?”
