For God and Country
The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic, mutual-help, war-time veterans organization. We are 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. Our members are also involved with the Westchester County American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary organizations.
We are "The Nation's Preeminent Voice for Veterans."
