History
Since its inception by an act of Congress in 1919, The American Legion has delivered substantial assistance for veterans, families and communities. The Legion ushered in the modern VA, drafted and sponsored the GI Bill and the Post 9/11 GI Bill and brought into existence dozens of health-care benefits for veterans and their families. Post #88 provides access to these services locally in Norman Oklahoma.
