American Legion

The American Legion, established 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 unique needs of veterans, service members, and their families. Committed to destigmatizing mental health support, the Legion provides essential resources and empowers individuals to actively participate in preventing veteran suicide through initiatives like the USA250 Challenge.

Through a century of impactful programs and services, The American Legion has strengthened American communities by celebrating service and encouraging civic involvement. The organization also emphasizes youth development through initiatives like American Legion Baseball and Boys State, while securing significant benefits for veterans and fostering grassroots advocacy to influence legislative action on their behalf.
