The American Legion is a not-for-profit veteran service organization chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919. It is founded on four pillars.
“Each of these pillars encompasses a variety of programs that benefit our nation’s veterans, its service members, their families, the youth of America and its citizens.”
As yesterday’s defenders of freedom, we want to welcome today’s military service members into our ranks to become part of our elite group.

DAV is dedicated to a single purpose: empowering american disabled veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. Each year DAV helps more than 200,000 veterans and their families obtain needed benefits through 100 offices throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Our Wisconsin office, located in Milwaukee, helps roughly 12,000 veterans annually. Additionally, we reach out to veterans in rural areas with a Mobile Service Office.
In the military, service members push the limits of their well-being to support the mission. That selfless service posture has always been necessary because service members of every era knew they may be called to war. As they move into civilian life, many veterans carry that mission-first mindset with them, neglecting their health in the process.
We believe that veterans are America’s most resilient citizens — and it’s time for more veterans to prioritize their well-being first.
Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB) exists to guide them through that journey with real-life and virtual opportunities focused on building a healthier lifestyle because a strong focus on mental and physical health is critical to ensuring veterans’ best days are ahead.
