With a commitment to preventing veteran suicide and destigmatizing mental health support, the Legion empowers individuals through peer-to-peer resources and community involvement.

Through various programs and initiatives, including youth development through American Legion Baseball and advocacy efforts that have secured significant VA disability benefits, the organization plays a vital role in strengthening communities and supporting those who have served. The American Legion continues to inspire members to contribute to something larger than themselves, fostering a spirit of service and resilience across the nation.
