American Legion Family USA250
Celebrating 250 Years of the United States of America
The semiquincentennial gives the entire American Legion Family a chance to step up, show our pride, and take action. Let’s use this moment to celebrate and educate others about the values that shape our organizations: freedom, justice, democracy, and service.
The very same values that shape our nation.
With more than 11,500 American Legion posts, along with Sons of The American Legion squadrons and American Legion Auxiliary units, The American Legion Family is rooted in communities across the country and around the world. Now is the time to honor our nation’s founders by getting involved.
Get Involved
Show your pride in the nation that so many have fought and sacrificed to protect.
Lead a program. Share your story. Spread the word.
Youth Programs: Spread the Word
Legion Family programs teach young people about the Constitution, democracy, justice, citizenship, service, and the value of freedom. Veterans bring these lessons to life because they understand the sacrifices behind them.
Help celebrate America's 250th birthday by telling your community about American Legion and Auxiliary Youth Programs, all rooted in our nation’s founding values.
