The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic, mutual-help, war-time veterans organization. A community-service organization which now numbers nearly 3 million members -- men and women -- in nearly 15,000 American Legion Posts worldwide. These Posts are organized into 55 Departments -- one each for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico, and the Philippines.

The American Legion is incorporated by an act of Congress and is organized into local Posts which, for purposes of coordination and administration, are grouped into Departments. The Post is the community service outlet of The American Legion and provides opportunities for social activity and mutual support among the community's veterans. Our organization will stand or fall on our ability to properly explain Legion programs and policies to members of the community and to successfully carry out selfless acts of service to our community, state and nation.
