American Legion

The American Legion, founded in 1919 by an Act of Congress following World War I, is the nation's largest veterans service organization, dedicated to advocating for the unique needs of veterans, servicemembers, and their families. With a commitment to destigmatizing mental health support and preventing veteran suicide, it provides valuable resources, peer-to-peer support, and community programs.

For over a century, the organization has empowered local communities through various programs, including youth development initiatives like American Legion Baseball and Boys State, while securing record amounts in VA disability benefits for veterans without charge. Through grassroots advocacy and education, the American Legion inspires individuals to serve and strengthen the fabric of America.
