The American Legion is the largest and most influential organization of U.S. wartime veterans and their families, with over 1.9 million members and 12,000 posts across the United States. Since its establishment in 1919, the Legion has been instrumental in advocating for veterans' rights and improving their quality of life, playing a key role in the creation of the modern VA, the passage of the GI Bill, and the development of numerous healthcare benefits and transition assistance programs.
The South Dakota American Legion Foundation, a non-profit organization, was formed in 2010 to attract and distribute charitable funds for the benefit of American Legion programs in South Dakota. Through generous contributions and the dedication of Legion members, the Foundation ensures the long-term continuity of these programs, providing resources for Americanism, youth development, legislative advocacy, and various other initiatives that support veterans and their communities.
