The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s largest veterans service organization, committed to mentoring and sponsorship of youth programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting a strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow servicemembers and veterans.
As part of the convention, and open to the public free of charge, a concert will be presented on August 30 at the Milwaukee Theatre featuring 4Troops with Michael Peterson.
