Post 37 is pleased to announce the beginning of a new era with the introduction of our very own web site, dedicated to news and events held here at Post 37. For those of you interested in helping keep the costs down for our Post, you will now be able to view the newsletter online, versus the newsletter mailed to your home. Anyone interested in this, may email us at Post37mcallen@aol.com and ask to have your name removed from the mailing list for the newsletter. We have cut our mailing down by about 50 newsletters. This helps cut down on the expenses, but we could use a lot more cancellations of the newsletter. Help us out. Cancel now. Thanks!
Our Mission
The American Legion strives to promote a better understanding of the principles of democracy and to inculcate among all people a higher appreciation of the benefits of American citizenship. To serve the needs of all veterans and their families. To fulfill our commitment to community, state, and nation.
The American Legion Vision
The American Legion is the nation's largest wartime veterans service organization founded on the values, contributions, and sacrifices, of those who answered the nation's call to arms, therefore we must:
• Respond to quality of life needs of all veterans and their families,
• Prepare each generation to meet its citizenship obligations,
• Maintain a strong national defense,
• Perpetuate the principles of government embodied in the United States Constitution,
• Be a values-based organization committed to serving God, country, community and every veteran today, tomorrow and throughout the 21st Century.
Who We Are
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. These Posts are organized into 55 Departments - one each for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico, and the Philippines.
The American Legion's national headquarters is in Indianapolis, Indiana, with additional offices in Washington, DC. In addition to thousands of volunteers serving in leadership and program implementation capacities in local communities to the Legion's standing national commissions and committees, the national organization has a regular full-time staff of about 300 employees.
