The American Legion
The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s largest veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow servicemembers and veterans.
Focusing on service to veterans, servicemembers and communities, the Legion evolved from a group of war-weary veterans of World War I into one of the most influential nonprofit groups in the United States. Membership swiftly grew to over 1 million, and local posts sprang up across the country. Today, membership stands at over 2.4 million in 14,000 posts worldwide. The posts are organized into 55 departments: one each for the 50 states, along with the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico and the Philippines.
Over the years, the Legion has influenced considerable social change in America, won hundreds of benefits for veterans and produced many important programs for children and youth. For a chronology of significant dates in Legion history, click here.
100 Challenge
In Honor of the American Legion Auxiliary’s 100th Birthday, we are participating in the “100 CHALLENGE” issued by our Department President.
At our last meeting the members voted to collect 100 tubes of Toothpaste and
100 Toothbrushes for the Foster Children of Maine. These will be delivered in April during Children & Youth Month.
There is a box set up at the Legion Hall for anyone who would like to donate.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CONTINOUS SUPPORT!!
