Mission

The American Legion was chartered and

incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a

patriotic veterans organization devoted

to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s

largest wartime veterans service

organization, committed to mentoring

youth and sponsorship of wholesome

programs in our communities,

advocating patriotism

and honor, promoting strong national

security, and continued devotion to our

fellow service members and veterans.
 

Hundreds of local American Legion

programs and activities strengthen the nation one community at a time. American Legion Baseball is one of the nation’s most successful amateur athletic programs, educating young people about the importance of sportsmanship, citizenship and fitness. The Operation Comfort Warriors Program supports recovering wounded warriors and their families, providing them with "comfort items" and the kind of support that makes a hospital feel a little bit more like home. The Legion also raises millions of dollars in donations at the

​

local, state and national levels to help

veterans and their families during

times of need and to provide college

scholarship opportunities.
 

The American Legion is a nonpartisan,

not-for-profit organization with great political

influence perpetuated by its grass-roots

involvement in the legislation process from

local districts to Capitol Hill. Legionnaires’

sense of obligation to community, state and

nation drives an honest advocacy for

veterans in Washington. The Legion stands

behind the issues most important to

the nation's veterans community, backed by resolutions passed by volunteer leadership.
 

The American Legion’s success depends entirely on active membership, participation and volunteerism. The organization belongs to the people it serves and the communities in which it thrives.        © Copyright 2017 The American Legion
