American Legion
The American Legion, established in 1919 by an Act of Congress following World War I, serves as the nation's largest veterans service organization (VSO) dedicated to advocating for the diverse needs of veterans, service members, and their families. With a focus on mental health support and suicide prevention initiatives, the organization empowers individuals to "Be The One" in the fight against veteran suicide while offering a range of programs and services to foster community spirit and youth development.
Through various initiatives such as American Legion Baseball and educational contests, the organization promotes values like sportsmanship and leadership among youth. The American Legion continues to impact local communities and secure vital resources, such as record amounts in VA disability benefits, demonstrating its commitment to the well-being of veterans and their families across the nation.
