American Legion

The American Legion, established by an Act of Congress after World War I, is the nation's largest veterans service organization committed to advocating for the unique needs of veterans, service members, and their families. With a focus on preventing veteran suicide and destigmatizing mental health support, the Legion provides peer-to-peer resources and programs aimed at empowering both veterans and the communities they serve.

In addition to its advocacy work, the American Legion plays a pivotal role in youth development through programs such as American Legion Baseball and Boys Nation, teaching values like sportsmanship, leadership, and civic responsibility. For over a century, the organization has strengthened America and its veterans through compassionate programs and services that have proven to be vital and life-changing.
