The American Legion is the largest wartime veterans service organization in the United States, with over 2.4 million members and nearly 14,000 posts across the country. Established by an act of Congress in 1919, the Legion played a crucial role in the passage of the original GI Bill and the creation of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Today, the organization remains active in supporting current military personnel and veterans, sponsoring various youth programs and activities, and advocating for the protection of the U.S. flag through a constitutional amendment.
With a mission to support veterans services, lobby for veterans' rights, and engage with local communities, membership in the American Legion is vital. Members enjoy exclusive discounts, access to programs and activities, and a complimentary 12-month subscription to the American Legion magazine. From supporting families and youth to making a difference in national affairs, the Legion offers a wide range of programs and initiatives that positively impact the lives of others.
