American Legion

The American Legion, established in 1919 by an Act of Congress following World War I, is the nation's largest veterans service organization dedicated to advocating for the needs of veterans, service members, and military families. With a commitment to destigmatizing mental health issues, the organization provides vital resources, peer-to-peer support, and actively engages in efforts to prevent veteran suicide.

By offering a variety of programs and services, The American Legion empowers communitarian efforts, fostering youth development through initiatives like American Legion Baseball and educational contests. Its impact is evident through substantial contributions to VA disability benefits, community grants, and advocacy efforts that encourage civic responsibility and national strength.
