American Legion Day Established

Today, with the passage of House Resolution 679, we pay tribute to one of our nation's largest and most successful veterans advocacy organizations, the American Legion. Since the Congressional charter was issued on September 16^th, 1919, the American Legion has worked tirelessly to serve American veterans and communities across the nation.Arkansas has the honorable distinction of becoming the first American Legion Department in the United States to be incorporated.

Now on American Legion Day, we have the opportunity each year to come together and celebrate the organization's long history and distinguished service to the community, state and nation. Millions of people who have been positively affected by the American Legion, as well as the American people are grateful for their efforts in serving our country.
