The American Legion, established in 1919, is a prominent U.S. Veterans Association dedicated to advocating for the needs of veterans and service members. With a focus on supporting military families and preventing veteran suicide, The American Legion offers diverse programs and services to empower individuals to make a difference in their communities.
Through destigmatizing mental health support, providing peer-to-peer resources, and promoting values like sportsmanship and leadership through initiatives such as American Legion Baseball, the organization fosters a sense of community spirit and encourages active participation in national issues affecting veterans.
By securing record amounts in VA disability benefits, awarding grants to non-profit organizations helping young people, and engaging in grassroots advocacy efforts, The American Legion continues to make a significant impact in strengthening America and supporting its veterans for over a century.
