THE AMERICAN LEGION
The American Legion, founded in 1919 by an Act of Congress, serves as the nation’s largest veterans service organization, advocating fiercely for the unique needs of veterans, servicemembers, and their families. Committed to destigmatizing mental health support and empowering communities, the organization actively works to prevent veteran suicide through various programs and resources.
With a century-long legacy, the American Legion emphasizes youth development and community engagement through programs like American Legion Baseball and Boys State. Its mission is to strengthen America by fostering a spirit of service and action that positively impacts local communities and honors those who serve in defense of the nation.
