American Legion

The American Legion, established by an Act of Congress in 1919, is the largest veterans service organization in the United States, dedicated to advocating for veterans, servicemembers, and their families. Its mission includes destigmatizing mental health support and promoting community spirit while providing peer-to-peer resources to prevent veteran suicide.

With a rich history spanning over a century, the American Legion reinforces its commitment to youth development through programs like American Legion Baseball and Boys Nation. By securing significant VA disability benefits and offering grants through the American Legion Child Well-Being Foundation, the organization continues to make a profound impact on local communities and the lives of American veterans.
