THE AMERICAN LEGION
About The American Legion
The American Legion is the largest wartime veterans service organization with nearly 2 million members and more than 12,000 posts in communities throughout America. The American Legion, established by an act of Congress in 1919, was instrumental in getting the original GI Bill through Congress and the creation of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Today, the organization is active throughout the United States, supporting current military personnel and veterans, sponsoring American Legion Baseball, Boys State, Oratorical Contests and other activities for youth, and pushing for the adoption of a constitutional amendment to prohibit desecration of the U.S. flag.

Palo Alto Post 375 was founded in 1930 and has a proud history as Palo Alto’s primary American Legion Post.
It was one of the founding members of the United Veterans Council of Palo Alto (1937), that held the lease to the Veterans Building 1938-1981, and since then provided the 2,500 square foot Veterans Area.
It is now Palo Alto’s only Veterans association. Post 375 is intent on leveraging the many advantages the influential city of Palo Alto offers to blaze a new Legion path of leadership, influence and impact.
