The American Legion, established by an act of Congress in 1919, is the nation's largest veterans service organization, advocating fiercely for veterans, service members, and their families. It actively champions veterans' needs on Capitol Hill, supports military families, and dedicates itself to the prevention of veteran suicide.
The organization also prioritizes peer-to-peer mentoring and strives to destigmatize mental health issues, ultimately empowering individuals through initiatives like "Be the One." Additionally, it offers youth and community programs, events, training opportunities, and member discounts for active engagement.
