Our Mission

The American Legion strives to promote a better understanding of the principles of democracy and to inculcate among all people a higher appreciation of the benefits of American citizenship. To serve the needs of all veterans and their families. To fulfill our commitment to community, state, and nation.

The American Legion Vision

The American Legion is the nation's largest wartime veterans service organization founded on the values, contributions, and sacrifices, of those who answered the nation's call to arms, therefore we must:

Respond to quality of life needs of all veterans and their families,

Prepare each generation to meet its citizenship obligations,

Maintain a strong national defense,

Perpetuate the principles of government embodied in the United States Constitution,

Be a values-based organization committed to serving God, country, community and every veteran today, tomorrow and throughout the 21st Century.

Cardinal Principles of The American Legion

The rehabilitation of all disabled vets
The care of the dependants of those who answered the 'Final Call'
The care of those who are now suffering from wounds, disease, and want
The education of our children....and service to the community, state, and nation

A Blue Star Service Banner displayed in the window of a home is an American tradition. The banner lets others know that someone in the home is proudly serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. As Americans do their best to support Operation Iraqi Freedom and the ongoing war on terror, the Blue Star Service Banner tradition reminds us all that war touches every neighborhood in our land.
