Our Story
In contrast to other veterans organizations, the Legion offers a number of local programs and activities to strengthen its commitment to our nation’s grass roots and the people we serve. The American Legion offers the highly acclaimed Boy’s and Girl’s State program which is a participatory program in which students become part of the operation of local, county and state government. Support for Boy Scouts of America began at the Legion’s first national convention in 1919 and continues with more than 2,500 Scouting units sponsored. American Legion baseball is one of the nation’s most successful amateur athletic programs; it continues to educate youth on the importance of sportsmanship and develops the quality of our country’s citizenship. Scouting The Heroes to Hometowns program is the only nationwide reintegration assistance service for wounded veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. Additionally, millions of dollars in donations have been given to fellow veterans and their families in times of grief, and various scholarship opportunities ensure the future success of our youth. The American Legion is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization with great political influence perpetuated by its grass-roots involvements in the legislation process. Legionnaires’ sense of obligation to their community, state and nation drives an honest advocacy for veterans in Washington. The Legion stands not behind politics, but the issues and people that institute progress by focusing on veterans rights and quality of life. The American Legion’s success depends entirely on active membership, participation and volunteerism. The organization belongs to the people it serves and the communities in which it thrives.
