The American Legion was founded in 1919 in Paris, France, at the close of World War I. The organization now includes veterans of World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon/Grenada
periods, Operation Just Cause in Panama, Desert Storm, and Enduring Freedom.
The American Legion, since its founding, has endeavored to assist veterans, their widows and children, and their fellow citizens. The North Carolina American Legion, with over 40,000 paid members,
are proud to carry on this tradition. We invite you to join us and help support Americas Veterans.
