About

“The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness.

It is committed to sponsorship of wholesome community programs, the avocation of patriotism and honor, promoting national security, service to our local communities, and devotion to the needs of our veterans and their families.

The American Legion’s success depends entirely on active membership, participation, and volunteerism. The organization belongs to the people it serves and the communities in which it thrives.”

The Legionnaires,  Sons of the American Legion and The Auxiliary

All the groups that comprise our American Legion Post 25 of Lake Placid; the American Legion (veterans), the American Legion Auxiliary, and the Sons of the American Legion have worked together through the years to create fundraisers and events that support patriotism and security while supporting non-profit groups that advocate for veterans, active-duty military and the local community in need.
