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 three 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.

The armed forces used asbestos extensively in the 20th Century, and because of the long latency period only now are many veterans getting mesothelioma. People were exposed in all branches of the service, in a variety of jobs. We have worked with veterans from all over the country. We can help you find VA resources and medical assistance.
According to the United States Department of Veteran Affairs, there are currently 25 million individuals who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of these living Veterans have been exposed to asbestos
or products containing asbestos material during their services.
