The American Legion is comprised of 55 state-level "Departments" in each of the 50 states as well as the District of Columbia, France, Mexico, Philippines and Puerto Rico. There are approximately 15,000 local "Posts" throughout the state level. We are the nation's largest veterans organization with roughly 2.7 million members.

The American Legion is "Still Serving America." This is only a part of what The American Legion does "for God and Country."

The Department of Vermont has 71 Posts throughout the State, with more than 15,000 members. As a whole, we donate countless volunteer hours to Community Service, the Vermont Veterans Home and seeking benefits and just compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs. We have a wide array of programs for Children and Youth, including Green Mountain Boys' State, Boy Scouts, American Legion Baseball and the Scholarship Program.
