american legion post 977

The American Legion, established by an Act of Congress following World War I, is the nation's largest Veterans Service Organization (VSO), dedicated to advocating for the unique needs of veterans, service members, and their families. With a focus on preventing veteran suicide, the organization offers mental health support, resources, and community programs to empower individuals and strengthen local communities.

Since its inception, the American Legion has played a vital role in youth development through initiatives like American Legion Baseball, which teaches values such as sportsmanship and leadership. The organization continues to secure record amounts in VA disability benefits for veterans and actively involves its members in grassroots advocacy efforts to influence legislative changes that benefit the veteran community.
