Focusing on service to veterans, servicemembers and communities.
The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s largest veterans service organization, committed to mentoring and sponsorship of youth programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting a strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow service members and veterans.
American Legion Post 274 has been active over the last 80 years in Peekskill. The post provides services on Veterans day and Memorial day in the city of Peekskill, and also places flags on the graves of our fallen heroes. The Post is active in the community and provides sponsorship for a little league team.
