American Legion

The American Legion, chartered by Congress in 1919, is the nation's largest wartime veterans service organization dedicated to mutual helpfulness, community engagement, and advocacy for veterans' rights. With a focus on mentoring youth and sponsoring wholesome programs, it promotes patriotism, national security, and support for fellow servicemembers and their families.

Through various local programs, including American Legion Baseball and the Operation Comfort Warriors initiative, the organization raises millions of dollars to assist veterans and provide scholarships. The American Legion operates as a non-partisan, not-for-profit entity, leveraging grassroots involvement to influence legislation and address the needs of the veterans community across the nation.
