American Legion
The American Legion, founded in 1919, is the nation’s largest Veterans Service Organization (VSO) dedicated to advocating for the unique needs of veterans, servicemembers, and their families. With a focus on destigmatizing mental health support and preventing veteran suicide, it offers peer-to-peer resources and various programs aimed at empowering individuals and strengthening communities.
Over the past century, the American Legion has made a significant impact by securing record amounts in VA disability benefits and providing grants to support youth in need. Through initiatives such as American Legion Baseball and Boys State, the organization fosters youth development while advocating for veterans’ rights and community spirit across the nation.
