American Legion

The American Legion, established by an Act of Congress after World War I, serves as the nation's largest veteran service organization, dedicated to advocating for the needs of veterans, servicemembers, and their families.

In addition to its advocacy efforts, the American Legion fosters youth development through programs such as American Legion Baseball and Boys Nation, instilling values like sportsmanship and leadership. The organization also engages in community service and legislative advocacy, striving to empower individuals and strengthen local communities across the nation.
