American Legion
The American Legion, founded in 1919 by an Act of Congress after World War I, serves as the nation's largest Veteran Service Organization (VSO), advocating for the unique needs of veterans, servicemembers, and their families. With a commitment to destigmatizing mental health support and providing peer-to-peer resources, the Legion champions the mission to prevent veteran suicide through initiatives like the "Be The One" campaign.
Over its century-long history, the American Legion has made significant contributions to community development, youth programs, and veterans' services, including securing vast amounts in VA disability benefits free of charge. Through its various programs, including American Legion Baseball and the Boys State initiative, the organization aims to instill values such as sportsmanship, leadership, and civic responsibility among young people.
