About Us - Haddonfield American Legion Post 38

The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veteran organization. Focusing on service to veterans, servicemembers, and communities, 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.
