The Alaska Department of the American Legion

Patriotism. Service. Fraternity.

It’s a powerful package!

The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. The Department of Alaska stretches from the far north in Koyukuk, throughout the State of Alaska and includes the Pacific District of Guam and Taiwan. That’s a lot of ground to cover! With our new and revamped website we can make that distance a lot smaller.

  • It’s a program of involvement in the many facets of your life.
  • It’s a program which can have a positive influence in the lives of you and your family.
  • It’s a program of promise!
