American Legion

The American Legion, established in 1919 by an Act of Congress after World War I, serves as the nation's largest veterans service organization, championing the needs of veterans, servicemembers, and their families. With a commitment to destigmatizing mental health support and advocating for legislative action, the organization empowers individuals to prevent veteran suicide through various programs and peer-to-peer resources.

For over a century, the American Legion has strengthened American communities by providing vital services and resources, including youth programs like American Legion Baseball and educational scholarships. Their robust advocacy efforts have led to significant achievements, such as record amounts in VA disability benefits secured for veterans and substantial grants awarded to organizations assisting young people facing challenges.
