With over 2.5 million members and almost 14,000 community posts, The American Legion is truly a grassroots organization, guided by
resolutions that spring from local Legionnaires and are advanced to the state and national levels. From there, American Legion
resolutions help shape U.S. policy on many fronts, including veterans health care, national security, foreign affairs and the economy.
The American Legion brought into existence the modern VA, the GI Bill, and dozens of health-care benefits. It helped build the Vietnam
Veterans Memorial and the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The Legion is a national leader in military-to-civilian transition assistance and home-front support for our troops. The American Legion
is also fun. The Legion Riders motorcycle group raises millions of dollars to help children, veterans and families. Conventions, special
events, volunteer activities, welcome-home dinners, concerts and holiday observances are among the many other ways Legionnaires
make service a pleasure.
If you are a veteran and live in northeast Florida, come visit our Post at 560 North Wilderness Trail in the Palm Valley section of Ponte
Vedra Beach. Come in and look around, and when you like what you see and experience the at home feeling, ask for an application to join.
Feel free to browse our website for more information.
Commander Greg Cressman
The American Legion represents over 2 million members, and there’s strength in our
numbers. We fight on Capitol Hill everyday to ensure that our troops not only get the
equipment and training they need to fulfill their duties, but also to ensure they are
treated properly and receive the benefits they deserve upon returning home.
