The American Legion

---

 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 servicemembers 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. 

We can't do this work alone. We rely on the support of our community to make a difference in the lives of veterans. There are many ways to get involved, from volunteering your time to making a donation. Join us in our mission to serve those who have served us.

The stories of our veterans are powerful and inspiring. We are proud to share their stories and to honor their service and sacrifice. Read some of the stories of the veterans we have served and see the impact that our programs have had on their lives.

We host a variety of events throughout the year to raise awareness about the needs of veterans and to bring the community together in support of our mission. From charity walks to volunteer opportunities, there are many ways to get involved.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our organization, please don't hesitate to contact us. We would love to hear from you and to discuss how we can work together to support our veterans.
