The
American Legion is a organization of veterans of the United States armed
forces who served in one of the branches of the United States military.
There are nearly 3 million members, not including Auxiliary units. In addition
to organizing commemorative events and volunteer activities, the American
Legion is active in US politics. Its primary political activity is lobbying
for the interests of veterans, including support for veteran's benefits
such as pensions and the Veterans Affairs hospital system; in addition,
it promotes other causes such as support for a Flag Burning Amendment.
The American Legion has also recently supported the Boy Scouts of America
in their efforts to refuse membership to gays. In addition, the American
Legion is a firm supporter of religion and anti-atheism.
