Veteran advocacy
Advocates for veterans, service members, and military families.
Founded in 1919, the American Legion advocates for veterans, service members, and military families. Its work includes legislative advocacy and free assistance from accredited service officers and appeals representatives seeking federal benefits. The organization also promotes mental health support and peer-to-peer resources through its Be the One suicide prevention initiative. Youth programs include American Legion Baseball, Junior Shooting Sports, Boys State and Boys Nation, and an oratorical contest with scholarships. It provides events and training, including regional information conferences, and shares member discounts. The American Legion also supports child-serving organizations through grants and offers scholarships for children of military personnel who died or became significantly disabled while on active duty. Local posts conduct Buddy Checks to connect with veterans.
