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.
