Join US in Celebrating


The American Legion was founded on March 15, 1919, with a charter by Congress to focus on service to veterans, service members, and communities. Today, with over 13,000 posts worldwide, membership stands at over 2 million.

All across the country, posts celebrating the centennial with pride.

Legion programs assist with youth sports and education, community projects and events, and support to non-profit organizations. Not only that, but posts often become a community of their own, providing companionship, service opportunities, and support for veterans after their service.

And not for nothing, but you can't beat the bar tab if you're a Legionnaire...

Congratulations to the American Legion – and thank you for one hundred years of support, community, and laughs.
