About Us
Working and volunteering in communities, states, the nation and around the world, The American Legion has been dedicated to veterans, troops, national security, youth, disaster relief and patriotism for over a century.
Nearly 2 million U.S. military veterans are members of The American Legion. Joining them are nearly 1 million members of the American Legion Auxiliary, and more than 375,000 Sons of The American Legion, male descendants of U.S. wartime veterans. They work as one great American Legion Family of shared values, at more than 12,000 local posts worldwide, in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin America and Asia.
While members of the American Legion Family are individually unique, collectively we are a multi-million member powerhouse of caring advocates dedicated to service. You’ll find that getting connected to the American Legion Family is one of the best decisions you’ll ever make.
