Preamble to the Constitution of The American Legion
For God and Country
 


                                            Who We Are 

The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic, mutual-help,
war-time veterans organization.  A community-service organization which now numbers
nearly 3 million members -- men and women -- in nearly 15,000 American Legion Posts
worldwide.


                      we associate ourselves together for the following purposes:

to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Americanism; to preserve the memories and incidents of our associations in the great wars; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community state and nation; to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and goodwill on earth; to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion
to mutual helpfulness.
