The American Legion and Mission

The American Legion is an organization dedicated to God and country, with a membership of military veterans who take deep pride in the US flag and all it stands for. Since its charter by Congress in 1919, the American Legion has been a stalwart champion of patriotic values, morals, culture and citizenship. Its main mission is to:

  • Uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America
  • Maintain law and order
  • Foster a sense of individual obligation to community, state, and nation
  • Safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom, and democracy
  • Respectfully observe patriotic holidays that honor the sacrifices and service of our veterans
  • Educate our youth about America’s past, and advocate for patriotism and critical thinking
