American Legion Post 228

The American Legion, founded in 1919 by an Act of Congress after World War I, is the nation's largest veteran service organization (VSO) dedicated to advocating for the needs of veterans, service members, and their families. With a strong commitment to destigmatizing mental health support, the Legion empowers individuals to take action in preventing veteran suicide through peer-to-peer resources and community programs.

Over the past century, the American Legion has continually strengthened American communities by promoting values such as leadership and service through initiatives like American Legion Baseball and other youth programs. The organization also provides vital assistance, securing significant VA disability benefits and funding for youth organizations, while fostering a spirit of camaraderie and community involvement among its members.
