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 (VSO) dedicated to advocating for the needs of veterans, service members, and their families. Through a commitment to mental health support and community programs, the organization aims to prevent veteran suicide and empower individuals to take action in their communities.
With a rich history of promoting youth development through programs like American Legion Baseball and Boys State, the American Legion also provides crucial resources and training for its members. The organization was instrumental in securing billions in VA disability benefits and continues to influence legislative actions that positively impact the lives of veterans across the nation.
