Legion’s early work builds support and claims care
The American Legion established a national service system to adjust thousands of compensation claims for dependents of deceased or disabled men, with its national headquarters handling the most complex cases. By May 25, 1920, claims settled totaled about 1 million dollars since November 11, 1919. The Legion, formed in Paris on February 15, 1919 with 20 members, grew to over 1.5 million members in 9,000 posts and 800 women’s auxiliaries. A 1919 Senate bill on deportation, supported by Legion principles, passed after pressure from the Legion’s legislative committee chaired by Thouran W. Miller.
