It all began back in WW1 when a couple million young Americans went to France to fight a war to end all wars. In March of 1920, after the war, a Legionnaire by the name of Joseph W. Breen led a group of fellow Legionnaires, who got together in Philadelphia, Pennsylvannia to organize Voiture # 1 of the Society of 40 men and 8 horses, reflecting on their times of war in the tiny French box cars, the ones that had lettering on them stating 8 horses or 40 men (Quarante Hommes et Huit Chevaux).  The idea of the Society was introduced at the National Convention of The American Legion in Allentown, PA that year where it was organized on a National basis. In order to get into the Society, Legionnaires must have had to prove themselves of leadership, experience and training. Membership is, to this day, by Invitation only.  Today, membership by invitation only, is open to any veteran who displays the requirements needed and invited by a Voyageur the to the organization for review of those qualifications. Much time has passed, but one thing that continues throughout it all, our commitment of Love to God and Country.
