American Legion #37

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 Ames American Legion family consists of Legionaires, Auxiliary, Sons of the American Legion, and American Legion Riders. All four groups continually work on veteran and community projects. Our post serves as gathering place for members and a place for community gatherings.

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 wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow servicemembers and veterans.
