We associate ourselves together for the following purposes:

To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order; 

to foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Americanism; to preserve the memories and incidents

of our associations in the Great Wars; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the 

community, state and nation; to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses;

to make right the master of might; to promote peace and goodwill on earth; to safeguard 

and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate 

and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness. 


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. (From the National Website)
