The American Legion is the nation’s largest and most influential network of U.S. wartime
veterans, families and communities. From budget hearings to baseball diamonds, combat
outposts to children’s hospitals, the Legion has something for everyone under
its four pillars of service:
With over 2 million members and almost 14,000 community posts, The American Legion is truly a
grassroots organization, guided by resolutions that spring from local Legionnaires and are advanced to the state
and national levels. From there, American Legion resolutions help shape U.S. policy on many fronts, including
veterans health care, national security, foreign affairs and the economy. The American Legion brought into
existence the modern VA, the GI Bill, and dozens of health-care benefits. It helped build the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial and the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The Legion is a national leader in military-to-civilian transition assistance and home-front support for our
troops. The American Legion is also fun. The Legion Riders motorcycle group raises millions of dollars to help
children, veterans and families. Conventions, special events, volunteer activities, welcome-home dinners,
concerts and holiday observances are among the many other ways Legionnaires make service a pleasure.
If you are a veteran and live in northeast Florida, come visit our Post at 560 North Wilderness Trail in the
Palm Valley section of Ponte Vedra Beach. Come in and look around, and when you like what you see and
experience the at home feeling, ask for an application to join. You can also browse our website and print a
