American Legion

The American Legion, founded by an Act of Congress after World War I, is the nation’s largest veterans service organization dedicated to advocating for the unique needs of veterans, servicemembers, and their families. With a commitment to destigmatizing mental health support and providing essential peer-to-peer resources, the organization strives to prevent veteran suicide and empower individuals to take action.

For over a century, the American Legion has strengthened communities through programs and services that promote youth development, leadership, and sportsmanship, exemplified by initiatives such as American Legion Baseball and Boys Nation. The organization’s grassroots advocacy efforts further support American veterans by securing disability benefits and addressing the challenges faced by young people and their families.
