American Legion Post 16

The American Legion, founded in 1919 as the largest Veterans Service Organization (VSO) in the nation, is dedicated to advocating for the rights and needs of veterans, service members, and their families. It champions support for mental health initiatives, peer-to-peer resources, and strives to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health care, particularly in the fight against veteran suicide.

Through a variety of programs, including youth development initiatives like American Legion Baseball and scholarship opportunities, the organization empowers communities while celebrating those who serve. With a commitment to addressing the unique challenges faced by local veterans, the American Legion continually strengthens its advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill and within communities nationwide.
