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.
