The American Legion, established in 1919 by an Act of Congress post-World War I, is the nation's largest Veterans Service Organization (VSO) dedicated to advocating for veterans, service members, and their families. With a focus on preventing veteran suicide and providing essential support, the organization empowers communities through programs that promote mental health, youth development, and civic engagement.
Through initiatives like the USA250 Challenge and various training programs, The American Legion addresses the unique needs of veterans while fostering leadership and resilience among youth. Their commitment to legislative advocacy and community service has resulted in significant achievements, including record amounts in VA disability benefits and grants aimed at enhancing child well-being.
