Who We Are.
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.
“Acting Legion means celebrating our past without sacrificing the energy and excitement that we must bring to our second century,” he said. “Our foundation is strong. We have four solid pillars – National Defense, Veterans Affairs, Children & Youth and Americanism. All of these offer opportunities in which we can act Legion. All of these can and need to be used to build our foundation for the future.”
— Bill Oxford, American Legion National Commander
