The American Legion, established in 1919 by an Act of Congress following World War I, stands as the nation's largest veteran service organization dedicated to advocating for the unique needs of veterans, service members, and their families. With a commitment to destigmatizing mental health support and preventing veteran suicide, they provide essential resources and peer-to-peer assistance to empower individuals in need.
Beyond advocacy, the American Legion actively engages in youth and community programs, supporting initiatives like American Legion Baseball and the Oratorical Contest to foster leadership and sportsmanship among young people. Their extensive service initiatives have significantly impacted veteran benefits and community well-being, securing record amounts in VA disability benefits and funding for youth-focused organizations.
