The American Legion is the largest veterans service organization. The organization was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization. We are a non-profit organization that has over 3 million men and women members in almost 15,000 posts worldwide. Our motto is veterans helping veterans. If you are from another Post, we'd love to see you at Man O' War Post 8 or if you are interested in joining, please stop by for a visit.
