American Legion
The American Legion, founded in 1919 through an Act of Congress after World War I, is the nation's largest veteran service organization dedicated to advocating for the unique needs of veterans, service members, and their families. With a focus on mental health support and suicide prevention, the organization provides peer-to-peer resources and seeks to empower individuals to take action in destigmatizing mental health issues.
In addition to its advocacy work, the American Legion fosters youth development through programs such as American Legion Baseball and Boys State, teaching essential values like leadership and sportsmanship. With a commitment to community spirit, the organization strengthens America by supporting local initiatives and providing vital services that enhance the well-being of veterans and their families.
