When World War I (the war to end all wars) ended, soldiers who returned relatively unscathed without wounds or what was known back then as shellshock, got together to form an organization whose aim was to aid and support the wounded and those afflicted emotionally and psychologically by the horror of war. The Legion was created to fight for and secure veterans’ rights. We stand on the front line of that fight!
Not only are we here to help each other, we are here to help the men and women who put their life on the line for us. We are here to help others because we can. This is why we joined. This is why we stand and recite the Preamble before every meeting.
