Veterans Strengthening America

Focus on service to Veterans, Servicemembers and our Community

About

Who We Are

To enhance the well-being of America's veterans, their families, our military, and our communities by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.

For more than 90 years, the Legion has been the nation’s leading advocate for proper health care and earned benefits for America’s veterans. The Legion was instrumental in creating the Veterans Administration in 1930, and an ardent supporter of its rise to Cabinet status when it became the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in 1989. As the relationship between VA and veterans evolves, the Legion will help VA meet its critical mission.
