The American Legion’s mission is to enhance the well-being of America’s veterans, their families, our military, and our communities by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.
The legion is officially a non-partisan organization that focuses on helping veterans.
The legion is making a big push to modernize their organization. This means doing things that younger people enjoy. Come join, even if you’re not a veteran or service member, they would still love your support, even if it’s just gaming with them.
Are spouses welcome?
Yes! They can also join the American Legion Auxiliary.
Their “Be the One” slogan is in reference to their partnership with Columbia University to prevent veterans suicide. Which is also one of the gaming initiative purposes. The online community provides a place for people who are feeling isolated or alone a place to meet with other people with shared experiences and to make friends and connections.
