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!

Target dates fall on the second Wednesday of the month unless there is a holiday on that day or at the beginning of that week. The February to May Target dates moved to the third week to maximize end of year renewal notices.

Since Columbus Day falls on a Monday, the October target date will be on a Thursday.

To maximize the December renewal notice, the January target date will be on the third Thursday of the month because of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
