American Legion

The American Legion, chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919, is the nation's largest wartime veterans service organization dedicated to mutual helpfulness, mentoring youth, and sponsoring community programs. With a strong commitment to patriotism, national security, and advocacy for fellow servicemembers and veterans, the Legion operates hundreds of local programs that strengthen communities across the country.

In addition to promoting sportsmanship and citizenship through initiatives like American Legion Baseball, the organization raises millions of dollars to support veterans and their families in times of need, including providing college scholarships. As a nonpartisan, not-for-profit entity, the American Legion influences legislation from local districts to Capitol Hill, driven by a sense of obligation to serve the community, state, and nation.
