About

The American Legion is a non-profit Veteran's organization established in September 1919 by Teddy Roosevelt Jr. and chartered by Congress as an official American patriotic society. Membership is limited to those honorably discharged Veterans and current personnel of the United States Armed Forces who have served even one day of active duty - Currently we have close to 3 million members nation-wide. Our goal as a nonpartisan group is to promote the ideology of 100% Americanism and to provide support to those who have served and sacrificed as well as lobbying on a National level on behalf of the many important issues vital to our Veterans and their families.
