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. Through a variety of programs and services, the organization aims to combat the stigma surrounding mental health and promote peer-to-peer support to prevent veteran suicide.

With a commitment to community service, the American Legion empowers local communities, provides educational resources, and facilitates youth development through programs like American Legion Baseball and Boys State. Their efforts have resulted in significant achievements, including record amounts of VA disability benefits secured for veterans and numerous grants awarded to support young individuals facing challenges.
