American Legion

The American Legion, founded by an Act of Congress after World War I, serves as the nation's largest veterans service organization, passionately advocating for the unique needs of veterans and servicemembers along with their families. With a commitment to destigmatizing mental health support, they empower individuals to engage in preventing veteran suicide through various peer-to-peer resources.

For over a century, the organization has strengthened American communities by offering programs and services that foster values such as sportsmanship and leadership, as demonstrated through initiatives like American Legion Baseball. The American Legion continues to make a significant impact, securing substantial VA disability benefits and providing grants to organizations supporting young people facing challenges.
