Veterans Affairs
Voluntary Service (VAVS) program
The American Legion has been
a staunch supporter and active participant in the Department
of Veterans Affairs Voluntary Service (VAVS) program since
its inception in 1946. Today, across the country close to
6,000 American Legion volunteers contribute over 900,000
hours annually at various VA Medical Centers, Community
Based Outpatient Centers, Vet Centers, Nursing Homes, State
Veterans Homes, and many more locations in support
of our hospitalized veterans.
With a new generation of veterans, new locations, and
technological advancements comes increased opportunities for
American Legion volunteers to make a difference through the
VAVS program.When Legionnaires provide the time, talent and
desire, the VA provides opportunities ranging from direct
patient contact to developing new marketing technology, and
everything in- between. American Legion posts and members
volunteer post facilities, sponsor youth volunteers, and
serve veterans through partnerships with local businesses
and agencies.
Make a difference- VOLUNTEER TODAY!

Preamble to the S.A.L. National ConstitutionProud possessors of a priceless heritage, we male descendants of veterans of the Great Wars, associate ourselves together as "Sons of The American Legion" 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 true spirit of Americanism; to preserve the memories of our former members and the associations of our members and our forefathers 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 masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and good will on earth; to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our friendship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness; to adopt in letter and spirit all of the great principles for which The American Legion stands; and to assist in carrying on for God and Country. |
The Sons of The American Legion was created in 1932
