American Legion Post 6

American Legion Post 6 With over 1,500 members and a full calendar throughout the year, Francis E. These programs make a difference in hundreds of thousands of lives each year.

Self American Legion Post 6 is the largest American Legion post in the state of Wyoming. The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness following World War I. It is the nation’s largest veterans service organization, committed to mentoring and sponsorship of youth programs in our communities, advocating patr

iotism and honor, promoting a strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow servicemembers and veterans. The American Legion was founded on four pillars: Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism, and Children & Youth. Each of these pillars encompasses a variety of programs that benefit our nation’s veterans, its servicemembers, their families, the youth of America and ordinary citizens. Our organization’s positions and programs are guided by resolutions passed by American Legion National Convention delegates, and committee and commission members who represent 2.6 million wartime veterans and their families. These programs, and the men and women who take the time to perform them, are what allow The American Legion to make a difference locally, and on the state and national levels.
