American Legion
The American Legion, founded in 1919 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 every generation of veterans, service members, and their families. With a focus on destigmatizing mental health support, the organization provides peer-to-peer resources and empowers individuals to take action in preventing veteran suicide.
Over the past century, The American Legion has strengthened communities through various programs and services, including youth development initiatives like American Legion Baseball and educational scholarships. Their commitment is reflected in tangible impacts, such as securing billions in VA disability benefits and actively engaging in grassroots advocacy to support veterans' rights and well-being.
