Welcome to The American Legion Department of Washington, where a legacy of patriotism and community empowerment thrives. As a cornerstone of American values for over a century, we stand strong in our commitment to veterans, active-duty military, and the communities that make our nation great. 


Why The American Legion Matters

CHAMPION OF VETERANS

The American Legion has been an unwavering advocate for veterans' rights, benefits, and well-being. Through our advocacy efforts, we've transformed policies that honor those who've selflessly defended our freedom.

EMPOWERING CHANGE-MAKERS

We believe that strength lies in unity. By joining forces with individuals and organizations dedicated to making a difference, we amplify our impact on local, state, and national levels.

CONNECTING GENERATIONS

Since our founding in 1919, The American Legion has united veterans from every era, forging a powerful alliance that bridges the gap between generations of service and sacrifice.

BUILDING STRONG COMMUNITIES

Beyond the battlefield, we are community builders. Our Legionnaires are volunteers, mentors, and leaders who work tirelessly to improve the lives of their neighbors and shape the future of their towns and cities.

Our Mission Statement: To enhance the well-being of America’s veterans, their families, our military, and our communities by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.
