AMERICAN LEGION - IL Post 1198

The American Legion, founded in 1919 by an act of Congress, is the nation's largest veteran service organization, dedicated to advocating for the unique needs of every generation of veterans, servicemembers, and their families. With a commitment to destigmatizing mental health support, they offer peer-to-peer resources and actively work to prevent veteran suicide through initiatives like the "Be The One" campaign.

Over its century-long history, the American Legion has empowered communities by providing essential services and programs that foster youth development, such as American Legion Baseball and Boys State. Their efforts not only result in substantial VA disability benefits for veterans but also support various community initiatives that promote the welfare of young people facing challenges.
