American Legion

The American Legion is a large U.S. wartime-veterans organization, chartered by Congress in 1919, that advocates for veterans' benefits and national-defense issues. It is not a UFO-investigative body and has no well-documented role in UFO/UAP history; it appears in this archive only as a general organizational reference. Any specific claims about Legion posts and unexplained aerial phenomena should be treated as unverified absent supporting documents.

A major veterans' organization whose members and local posts have historically expressed civic interest in UFOs and aerospace defense.
