The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic,
mutual- help, war-time veterans organization. A community-service organization
which now numbers nearly 3 million members -- men and women -- in nearly
15,000 American Legion Posts worldwide. These Posts are organized into 55
Departments -- one each for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico,
France, Mexico, and the Philippines.
The American Legion's national headquarters is in Indianapolis, Indiana, with
additional offices in Washington, DC. In addition to thousands of volunteers
serving in leadership and program implementation capacities in local
communities to the Legion's standing national commissions and committees,
the national organization has a regular full-time staff of about 300 employees
(from the American Legion National Web site).
