The American Legion
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. More...
American Legion Auxiliary
The American Legion Auxiliary is the world's
largest women's patriotic service
organization. Through its nearly 10,500 Units
located in every state and some foreign
countries, the Auxiliary embodies the spirit of
America that has prevailed through war and
peace. Along with The American Legion, it
solidly stands behind America and her ideals.
