The American Legion was founded in 1919, in Paris, France by members of the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) while awaiting passage home after World War I. Later that same year, the organization was officially chartered by the US Congress.
After the war, many veterans were looking for a sense of connection, purpose, and support as they transitioned back into civilian life. The Legion was created to meet that need, bringing veterans together to continue serving their communities, and supporting one another.
Over a century later, that mission hasn’t changed.
At Post 267, we carry on that same tradition right here in La Habra. Veterans helping veterans, building community, and continuing the mission beyond service.
