AMERICAN LEGION WALSH POST 432

The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic, mutual-help, war-time veterans organization — a community-service organization which now numbers nearly 3 million members — men and women — in nearly 15,000 American Legion Posts worldwide. These Posts are organized into 55 Departments — one each for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico, and the Philippines.
