The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization. The Legion evolved from a group of war-weary veterans of World War I into one of the most influential nonprofit groups in the United States. Over the years, the Legion has built its identity by achieving hundreds of benefits and services for veterans, supporting the U.S. Armed Forces and instilling the values of responsible citizenship among young people. Veterans of the the American Legion have worked for over a century to improve and strengthen the nation they swore with their lives to defend.

Post 363: Our Post is named after James S. Rogers (1875-1954), a U.S. Army private who served in the Spanish-American War. Rogers is memorialized in the VA’s Veterans Legacy Memorial.
