Members of The American Legion are honorably discharged men and women who served their country on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States during World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama and Persian Gulf Wars and other Conflicts.
The American Legion was founded and organized in 1919. Since that time, The American Legion has touched virtually every facet of American life, fulfilling its main objective of service to the community, state and nation. Last year: 2007 and still more has been done with Pride for our Country!
The American Legion joined with the Children's Miracle Network to raise nearly $2 million dollars for CMN. Other needy children and families received more than $7 million in cash and gifts from The American Legion Posts. Legion Posts provided nearly $2 million in emergency aid to veterans last year.

Over $21 million was spent by The American Legion and its affiliated organizations for the benefit of children and youth last year. Local charity campaigns received over $10 million in donations from local American Legion Posts. Legionnaires across the country donate more than a million hours each year in the Veteran's Administration "Voluntary Service Program," helping patients in VA Medical Facilities.
Legion members donated over 2 million hours of service to their communities.
