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’s national headquarters is in Indianapolis, Indiana, with
additional offices in Washington DC. In addition to thousands of volunteers
serving in leadership and program implementation capacities in local communities
to the Legion’s standing national Commissions and committees, the national
organization has a regular full-time staff of about 300 employees.

THE AMERICAN LEGION BIRTHDAY IS MARCH 15-17, 1919
