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, service members, and their families. Through a wide range of programs and services, the organization aims to destigmatize mental health support, provide resources, and empower communities in the fight to prevent veteran suicides.

With a strong commitment to youth development and community engagement, the American Legion offers programs such as American Legion Baseball and Boys Nation, which emphasize sportsmanship, leadership, and civic responsibility. Over the last century, the organization has secured record amounts in VA disability benefits and continues to actively support local communities through various initiatives and advocacy efforts.
