American Legion

The American Legion, founded in 1919 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. With a focus on mental health support and community engagement, the organization strives to destigmatize mental health issues and empower individuals to take part in suicide prevention efforts.

Through various youth programs, community initiatives, and legislative advocacy, the American Legion has been instrumental in securing vital resources for veterans and promoting civic responsibility. Its long-standing commitment to strengthening American communities and supporting veterans' well-being has made it a cornerstone of service and advocacy for over a century.
