American Legion
The American Legion, established in 1919 by an Act of Congress following World War I, stands as the nation's largest veteran service organization (VSO). Committed to advocating for the unique needs of veterans, service members, and their families, the organization plays a vital role in promoting mental health support and preventing veteran suicide through community engagement and peer resources.

Offering a range of programs, including youth initiatives and legislative advocacy, it continues to secure benefits for veterans while fostering a spirit of camaraderie and support throughout America.
