The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic war-time veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation's largest veterans service organization, committed to mentoring and sponsorship of youth programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting a strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow service members and veterans.Your Suffolk County OrganizationThe American Legion Suffolk County Organization represents over 6,000 Legionnaires, from the Nassau County border in the west to Montauk Point in the East.
