American Legion

The American Legion, established by an Act of Congress after World War I, is 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, the organization provides peer-to-peer resources and actively works to prevent veteran suicide through its "Be The One" initiative.

Besides its advocacy efforts, the American Legion strengthens communities by sponsoring youth programs like American Legion Baseball and Boys Nation, which instill values such as sportsmanship and leadership. Celebrating over a century of service, the organization continually seeks to inspire and empower individuals to serve and contribute to the greater good of America.
