As part of its effort to stop the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) from intimidating state and local governments to remove religious symbols from public places, the American Legion is organizing its local posts to inventory and monitor local memorials in their areas. This is part of the larger campaign by the Legion which includes passage of the "Veterans' Memorials, Boy Scouts, Public Seals, and Other Public Expressions of Religion Protection Act of 2007," H.R. 725 and S. 415, which includes special protections for the Scouts. (Editor's note: The ACRU has offered to help the Legion in litigation stopping the ACLU.)
