Veterans Strengthening America
The American Legion is built on a promise from men and women who swore with their lives to defend and protect the United States through military service.
The promise begins at enlistment and grows through training and discipline in the U.S. Armed Forces. After discharge, veterans continue to serve their communities, state, and nation.
