The American Legion is
reportedly, the worlds largest veterans organization. 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. |
|
With a rich tradition rooted
in the 19th century, the Veterans of Foreign Wars is the oldest veterans
organization in America. Celebrating its centennial in 1999, it entered the 21st
century with 1.9 million members. VFW's 9,500 Posts count members from WWII,
Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf and all the expeditionary campaigns through
Bosnia.
The four cornerstones of VFW's foundation include
|
|
preserving veterans rights, |
|
|
advocating a strong national
defense, |
|
|
promoting patriotism and |
|
|
offering community service. |
VFW achievements range from
helping pass GI Bills for three generations of war vets to making the
Star-Spangled Banner the national anthem to providing $2.6 million in college
scholarships for students every year.

Formed in 1920 and chartered by
Congress in 1932, the million-member Disabled American Veterans is the
official voice of America's service-connected disabled veterans -- a strong,
insistent voice that represents all of America's 2.1 million disabled veterans,
their families, and survivors. Its nationwide network of services -- free of
charge to all veterans and members of their families -- is totally supported by
membership dues and contributions from the American public. Not a government
agency, the DAV's national organization receives no government funds. |
|
Many of the benefits offered to
our veterans are offered through the State of Pennsylvania's Department of
Military and Veterans Affairs. |
 |
|
The Mission of the United
States Department of Veterans Affairs is to serve America’s veterans and
their families with dignity and compassion and be their principal advocate in
ensuring that they receive medical care, benefits, social support, and lasting
memorials promoting the health, welfare, and dignity of all veterans in
recognition of their service to this Nation. |
