A brief history of The American Legion

A brief history of The American Legion

The American Legion built its legacy with a vision to make the nation prouder, stronger, smarter and more respectful of those who have sacrificed some, or all, in defense of the nation. A new brochure highlights some The American Legion’s achievements during its first century.

“A Brief History of The American Legion” is a four-page brochure for American Legion posts, districts and departments to share with community members. The publication is designed to be printed on 8.5x11 standard paper or taken to a local printshop to be made into a one-fold booklet for handout at American Legion activities, including membership tables and centennial celebrations.
