History and Legacy
The American Legion was chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1919. Palisades Post 283 was formed in 1928. The American Legion is the nation’s largest and most influential veterans service organization. All our American Legion Family, from The American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, Sons of the American Legion and our American Legion Riders work together as patriotic Americans to serve America and her veterans.
Since our very first meeting in Paris, France The American Legion has maintained a vision for a Strong America. Our four pillars of service are: Veteran Affairs & Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism, and Children & Youth.
To the extent you are able, we hope you find ways to contribute to the proud future of Our Post. Our Post’s future will be defined in our service to our veterans, their families, our local communities, state and our great Nation. The future of our Post will be stronger and more rewarding because of your involvement.
As you become more involved in Our Post, you may have questions about The American Legion or Our Post. Just bring your questions to a Post officer, we will do our best to help you. We are devoted to “Mutual Helpfulness.”
