Honoring the Commitment to those who have Served
To encapsulate our commitment to those who have served and sacrificed for love of country and the American People, we offer this quote from Abraham Lincoln’s second inaugural address “To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan”. It is fitting that the first and greatest Pillar of the American Legion is its founding principle; the care of all who have served this Nation in the Armed Services and their Families.
The American Legion serves by providing a network of support, connecting its members, veterans and family to the services and benefits to which they are entitled.
The Service Officer - Valuable Council
Within the American Legion there is a network of thousands of volunteer Service Officers, specially trained to provide expert assistance, free of charge, to veterans and their families. Whether this consist of working on applications for VA disability benefits, education, employment or other topics; they are compassionate professionals who will help you navigate through the system and answer your questions. Along with the resources on this site, we highly recommend you contact a Service officer at your Post or servicing your area.
