American Legion
The American Legion, founded by an Act of Congress in 1919 after World War I, serves as the nation's largest veteran service organization (VSO) dedicated to advocating for the unique needs of veterans, service members, and their families. With a strong focus on mental health support and community empowerment, the organization actively works to prevent veteran suicide and strengthen local communities through various programs and services.
Through initiatives such as American Legion Baseball and the Oratorical Contest, the American Legion fosters youth development and instills values like leadership and sportsmanship. Their commitment to advocacy is reflected in their significant impact, having secured record amounts in VA disability benefits and funding for organizations that assist young people facing challenges.
