American Legion

The American Legion, founded in 1919 by an Act of Congress after World War I, is the nation's largest veterans service organization (VSO) dedicated to advocating for the unique needs of veterans, service members, and their families. With a commitment to mental health support and community empowerment, the Legion champions various programs aimed at preventing veteran suicide and supporting military families.

Over the past century, The American Legion has secured billions in VA disability benefits and provided grants to help youth facing challenges through its charitable foundation. Through initiatives like the USA250 Challenge and youth programs, the organization continues to celebrate community spirit and inspire others to serve and strengthen America.
