American Legion

The American Legion, founded in 1919 by an Act of Congress after World War I, serves as the nation's largest Veterans Service Organization (VSO), advocating for the unique needs of veterans, service members, and their families. With a dedicated focus on mental health support and suicide prevention, the organization empowers individuals to "Be The One" in combatting veteran suicide through peer-to-peer resources and advocacy initiatives.

Through various community programs and youth development activities, such as American Legion Baseball and Boys Nation, the American Legion fosters values like sportsmanship and leadership among young people. The organization also provides exclusive member discounts, training opportunities, and significant financial support to help veterans navigate the complexities of their benefits and services.
